Help, I've fallen and lost my .pst files!

[Guest]

I didn't exactly fall, but there was a glitch with another program and
Outlook went down and when I restarted it, no contacts, email... I messed
around and managed to save or convert the old pst for my 2003 version, but
now I can't find them any.
Outlook works and everything looks intact, but...

My backup goes to Documents and Settings, owner, application data,
microsoft/Outlook/backup.pst BUT when I try to find outlook.pst via
the same route I get to owner and there is NO application file showing, Yet
if I try to create the folder it says I already have one.

I also did a "search" and came up with no .pst files.

I could live with not knowing, but I need to transfer pst's to new
computer... Any great ideas out there?

THX

change it to search hidden files and folders and search again, they should
come up

Search for the hidden file .pst

Then when you have found it, open the pst from within Outlook using File |
Open | Outlook data file

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Who new a computer would play hide and seek with my files? They were never
hidden before, but now I got 'em.
