Copying over account from hard disk backup

[Guest]

My computer died and I've had to re-install Outlook. I didn't have any
specific backups, but I do have a copy of the C:/ drive.
I followed the instructions on the newsgroup and
I've tried importing the outlook.pst file from Documents and
Settings/User/.../Application Data/Outlook and got my old emails, folders and
contacts, but none of the accounts have shown up, which is a real problem as
I can't remember the settings any more.
Can anyone tell me where I can find these in the backup so I get back into
my email??

Thanks in advance
Jon

Account information is kept in the registry and I know of no product that
will allow you to read registry files that are not active. You'll need to
ask your ISP for the information, if this is for a home PC.
