Where does outlook store the settings which aren't included in the pst files.
I am trying to find away to simply copy the requisite files without any user
interaction and so need to know what file stores the settings so that I can
copy this file and the extra pst file and not need any input from the user. I
want to add an extra pst file to outlook without opening the program.

See http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm for a rundown of the various settings files.

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile when Outlook starts, for example to add a .pst file. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...c_60I&respos=3
