Can't Find Outlook.pst

[Larry Bohen]

I recently changed PCs and used the Windows XP Data & File Transfer Wizard.
Althought the Wizard did transfer most things, it did not transfer my
Outlook Personal Folders which I had customized quite a bit.

I am thinking that I can copy the Outlook.pst folder on my old PC and paste
it in my new PC. Is this the right way?

The Outlook.pst folder should be in C\ocuments and Settings\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, but it is not. Is it possible
hidden?

That is a hidden folder so you'll have to unhide files and folders. The best
practice for backing up and restoring is detailed here:

and further, do NOT overwrite any pst
