Hello,Could someone please tell me how to open the following
files?:archive1.pst,extend.dat,Outlook.bak,Outlook1.pst,outcmd.dat,Outlook.NK2,Outlook.srs,Outlook.xml,OutlPrnt,Outlook.pst?Thank you.
 
The only one of those file that can be opened with a program
is the archive1.pst. This can be opened thru Outlook using
the FILE -> OPEN -> OUTLOOK DATA FILE...

The other files are used by the Outlook program for various
data holding reasons. If you follow the link below, each of these
files will be described:

Outlook 2000-2002-2003 file locations and descriptions:

Outlook 2007 file locations and descriptions:

Click to expand...

Only the PSTs can be opened under your control. In Outlook, click
File>Open>Outlook Data File and browse to the location of one of them.
Select it and click OK. The NK2 file is also of use, but you let Outlook
decide how to open it. It's for remembering those mail addresses you've
used in the past. There are other posts that explain it in detail. The
rest are inconsequential and Outlook will recreate them when it runs.
