Hi!
How can I see and access the OLK* file in Vista for Temp Outlook files?
A power shortage caused the loss of an important doc before I could save it.
Thank you!

Enter the full path (or navigate to the home folder and enter the
subfolder's name) into the Address bar of Windows Explorer. To find the
folder name, look in the registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Outlook\Security

where <version> is whatever version of Outlook that you installed but
failed to mention in your post. 10.0 is Office XP, 11.0 is Office 2003,
and so on.

The data item named "OutlookSecureTempFolder" points to Outlook's
temporary file path.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/securetemp.htm for the folder paths.
