Q: How do I install the Personal File Backup utility (pfbackup.exe) for

How do I install the Personal File Backup utility (pfbackup.exe) for a user
account on a Win XP machine.
I use XP and Outlook 2003 on a standalone machine. I installed pfbackup but
could not get access to it ( backup didn't appear in the File menu) from my
day to day user account (non admin, because we dont use an admin account for
everyday use now do we!!!!!).
Having trolled about in this community the answers are here but are spread
about a bit so I thought I would post this to help others that had this
problem.
Installing Personal File Backup on Win XP and Outlook 2003 for multiple user
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Logon with your Administrator account.
2. Install pfbackup.exe by running pfbackup.exe
3. Logon with a user accounts that require access to PF Backup
e.g. Mom/Pop/Jack/Jill etc
Ensure Outlook is not running.
4. Select the “Start†button and on the menu click “Runâ€
Enter "regsvr32 c:\program files\microsoft
office\office11\addins\outbak.dll"
(without the double quotes)
( location of this dll on your machine may differ )
OR
Run up a command prompt and run the same command as above from there.
5. Start outlook – The backup menu item should now appear on the File menu.
So therefore what is required for each account wishing to use pfbackup is
that the outbak.dll is registered within that account.
Hope this helps
