Lost my email and tasks!

[offwego]

I'm running XP Pro SP3

I spent a little time re-sorting the folder structure in the start menu.
The idea was make things a little more logical after I had XP re-loaded and a
back-up reinstated after a hard drive crash. I had quite a few duplicate
folders.

After moving a few folders around I looked in my Outlook where I used to
have a few email and some 'tasks' that I had set up, there was nothing there!

I'm happy with my new folder 'tree' but would like to find and reinstate my
lost email and tasks. Is there an easy way to do this?

Your Outlook problem has nothing to do with you sorting your Start Menu,
unless you mean you lost the Outlook shortcut, nor is likely anything to do
with your o/s
Post to an Outlook group, stateing your version of Outlook and type of
account

Was your Outlook storage (probably a file ending in .pst) part of your
back-up regime? That's fairly key...
