Location of outlook.pst

[W. Wolfe]

I am running OL-2007 on XP Pro. Whre does Outlook store outlook.pst? I
cannot find it anywhere.

I think the file should be here by default: C:\Documents and Settings\<user
name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

You'll probably have to turn on the visibility of hidden directories/folders
to navigate to that point

You have to search to include hidden files.
a.. Make sure you include hidden and system files and folders when searching
for pst-file
a.. By default it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
For Windows Vista the default is
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\
a.. You can also locate the file by using
Rightclick the root folder (probably Outlook Today)-> Properties-> button
Advanced-> field Filenam
a..

I checked the button 'show hidden files and folders' but still cannot see
Outlook.pst.

There are four files in this folder; outlook.NK2, outlook.srs, outlook.xml,
and OutlPrnt.

Once you've turned on the ability to view hidden files/folders, a simple
file search should show any *.PST files

I checked the button 'show hidden files and folders' but still cannot see
Outlook.pst.

There are four files in this folder; outlook.NK2, outlook.srs,
outlook.xml, and OutlPrnt.

Wrong folder. Those files are in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Notice that Vince said "...\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
