Hi,

I have Outlook 2002 (10.65...)SP3, when I opened it this morning, all my
files (contact lists, inbox, personal, sent items...etc) are all blank.
There was a dialog box came up saying like all my old files were relocated
and if I want to move them back into my Outlook, I can use MS Outlook help.
Could someone tell me how do I get my old files back and where are they now?
What happened anyway? Is this an automatic thing that Outlook does once
awhile?
Thanks ahead.

Regards,
David

Only you can know where you moved them. Outlook does NOT move them on its
own. See this for file locations:

I'm a little rusty at Tarot.

Never.
 
I did move my old files back to the Outlook folder, it was located in one of
the Outlook folder in C drive. Still didn't know how/why was moved. My
computer was infected with spyware popups yesterday and I used an
anti-spyware program (Spy Sweeper) to get rid of them and other temp. files
and registries. I don't know if that was the cause of it. Anyway, now I
have another problem, please see next thread. Thanks

Regards,
David
