Am trying to run scanpst.exe and cannot locate file. How
do I get to "local settings' or outlook.pst
 
Hi Sanity88,

The default location for Outlook PST files is:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

The Local Settings folder is hidden. To see it:

1. Open Explorer
2. Choose Tools - Folder Options - View - Hidden files and Folders

Each user will have their own unique folder under Documents and Settings,
but the rest of the path will be parallel for each: \Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\\Outlook folder
