Help!!
 

MS Outlook 2003 - running Win XP. In syncing my desktop to a H/PC, I
accidentally deleted several contacts from the contacts database on my
desktop. Good news is that I have a complete backup of everything on my
desktop and should be able to restore.

My problem is that I do not know what files I need to restore. What files
contain the information for my contacts? If I can determine this, I should
be able to pretty easily restore from recent backup info for entire desktop.

Thanks,
Steve

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
