Lost all my contacts and calendar that were in my Outlook folders!

[Guest]

Upon opening outlook, my computer randomly asked me to enter a new user
profile. One I'd set that up I discovered that I'd lost all info in calenders
and contacts. Was able to retrieve them by opening my documents and settings
and finding the data files, but once I closed Outlook, I discovered I'd lost
all the info again and am now unable to get it back. Can you please help.
This is a complete nightmare!!! Please Help!!! I'm working with Outlook
2002...

Upon opening outlook, my computer randomly asked me to enter a new
user profile.

A new user profile in Windows will produce a different C:\Documents and
Settings subfolder tree that will be different from the one you used
previously. Were this to happen to me, I'd log in as Administrator and copy
the contents of the old WIndows user profile tree to the folder tree of the
new one.

Brian, thanks for your response. So I should copy the contents of the old
WIndows user profile tree to the folder tree of the
new one? How do I do this?

Read what I already wrote and what you yourself quoted in my message. Here
it is again:

You can use Windows Explorer for this task.
