Outlook pst file - Outlook 2007

[Trish]

Hi, I am using Outlook 2007 with MS Vista Home Premium. I would like to put
a copy of my pst file on my flash drive for safe keeping, but I cannot see
where it is located - I have even run a search on hidden files. It must be
there somewhere, because my outlook contacts, calendar etc are working
perfectly. Many thanks in advance for any help.

By default...

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook...

And yes, it's a hidden folder so you'll have to have Vista configured to
show those. (Organize | Folder and Search options | View...)

I'd choose %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook or
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

Yes, that is more generic.
