My husband is configuring a network in our house and when he joined my laptop
to the new domain name he created and rebooted, all of my profiles for all of
my programs were defaulted back to the original settings. The one I'm having
a problem with is Outlook 2003. I lost all of my personal folders and my
settings and everything in my Inbox when he did this. And we can't find
where they were being stored on my harddrive. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to handle this?!
 
You now have a domain profile - if you set your logon to your machine and
not the domain, does your stuff show up?

At any rate, your Outlook Data is contained in a .pst file - search for this
file on your hard drive and enable searching hidden/system folders.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

I actually was able to find the contents of my inbox. But now I have 2
personal file folders (that have the same contents but different icons next
to them). Which one should I delete and how do I do that?

And I can see all my contacts on the contact tab. But nothing is in my
address book now. And I can't find any files with a .pab file extension with
I run a search. Does 2003 save it with a different extension?
