As I was attamping to copy the Outlook files from one user on XP home to
another, and could not find *.pst files in Windows Explorer. I could only
find files like Microsoft Outlook.FAV Microsoft Outlook.NK2 Microsoft
Outlook.xml and outcmd.dat
Where are the darn *.PST files?

Yes, I have set my folders to show hidden and sytem files and folders.

The goofiest "feature" is that I can find the files, when I use the Search
function

if you can find them in search, right click and choose 'open location'.

Enable 'Show hidden files and folders', and you will see them - nothing
"goofy" about that.
