pst file

[sean]

Hi,

I'm using MS Outlook 2002. I uninstalled MS Office XP and reinstalled it
because of issues I was having with Excel.

However I forgot about outlook and all my emails are gone. I searched
through all the folders + hidden looking for *.pst but found nothing

Can you help?

Uninstalling Outlook never deletes the Outlook data. I suspect you have not
enabled viewing hidden files and folders despite what you say. Open Windows
Explorer and enter this in the Address field:

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Click Go. Look for and PSTs, which will show up with ".pst" as the file type
or as "Outlook Data File" is you have file types hidden.
