First set up of Outlook asked me if I anted to archive. I said yes, it
suggested where to send the files which was into my "C" drive. Now when I try
to open the "archive.pst" it asks open with? And there I sit.

In Outlook, choose File | Open | Outlook Data File, then select the .pst file you want to open.

For Outlook 2000, that's File>Open>Personal Folders File

And then a confirmation from Sue Mosher. WOW finally I am able to get into
my .pst file!! Thanks Sue, when I followed the file\open\outlook data file,
then select the pst file I found I had to navigate to my pst file as Brian
had noted as it wasn't the first one that popped up
Awesome folks! first time in a discussion forum and you guys rocked!
May God Bless you and your families!
