Using Windows XP, Outlook 2003 data is stored in a location with path
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. When I look for this path with Windows Explorer I
can't see the folder 'Local Settings'. How do I make this visible and gain
access to these files?
Thanks

Click to expand...

Open windows explorer, select tools, folder options, view then select show
hidden files and folders.
 
Hi Philip,

You should be able to resolve this by:

1. Opening 'My Computer'
2. Clicking 'Tools' -> 'Folder Options...'
3. Click the 'View' tab
4. Select 'Show hidden files and folders'
5. Click OK

Hope this helps.

Jim
