Missing PST

[JCS]

Hello,
Some of the files in my Microsoft outlook 2007 have been corrupted. It
prompted a message to go and do a scan and repair in Scanpst.exe; I did find
this file but when I double click, it pops a window where I need to enter the
name of the file to be scan, and this is the part where I don’t know what to
do.
I was told to search it in c:\documents and settings\<user>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. But still I cannot find a .pst
or .ost file.
Can anyone answer my question? What is exactly the file’s name that I need
to type in Scanpst.exe? or Where exactly I can find the right file?
Thanks everyone!!

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder by default and you cannot
browse to it. In Windows Explorer, click Tools>Folder Options, select the
View tab, and click the radio button labeled "Show hidden files and
folders:. Click OK, then try SCANPST.EXE again.

Within Outlook, select Personal Folders, rt click Properties, Advanced check
the path/name of the data file

In explorer this is probably a hidden file, you have to view all to include
hidden
By default a pst is named outlook.pst when set up for the first time, a
second new pst would be outlook1.pst

After enabling "Show Hidden file and folders" Option in Tools>Folder Options
tab run the inbox repair tool.
