How do I save Outlook settings before reinstalling the OS

[Guest]

I want to reinstall my OS (XP Pro). Is there a file in Outlook that I can
save on another computer that will keep my current emails, Inbox Folders,
Calendar, and Contacts. I'm using Outlook (not Express) on a home network set
up to use POP3 and SMTP from my ISP, not an Exchange server. I also could not
find a PST or PAB file.
Thanks,

Hi,
the pst file is a hidden file.
You can use the pfbackup.exe to backup your outlook
But please read

Great WEB site as this may help. I have also found another post that
mentioned that there is a "Save My Settings" option in MS Office that I'll
have to check out.
