Outlook favourites settings file location...

[Brad Pears]

We are using Outlook 2002. One of our users wants to copy his "favourites"
from his laptop computer to another machine. I did a little searching and
thought I found that there is supposed to be a ".fav" file that contains
this information. However, when I did a search on the PC for ".fav" files it
did not find any.

Does anyone have any idea what file the "favourites" exist in when using
Outlook 2002?

Thanks, Brad

What favorites are you referring to? The .fav file holds the links used by the OUtlook Bar.
