Settings Backup

[Tahoe]

Outlook 2007 - Is there a way to back up all the program settings - view
settings, column widths, toolbars, etc?

TIA

The first 3 you mentioned are part of the pst-file. So if you back up that
file; you should be fine.
For detailed instructions see;

Toolbars, Account Settings, Favorite Folders, editor settings, calendar
settings, cache files etc... are a bit more tricky to back up and restore
individually as several of those hold a dependency on each other which
cannot easily be restored without making a certain level of abstraction
first and then later recreate that dependency again.

If you want to backup and everything in a single file so you can easily
restore it again, I'd recommend to use a specialized tool for that. I've had
great results with ABF Outlook Backup;

If you decide to order use ABF-1HTJ8 to get a discount.

Thanks Roady.

I'm going to look at the ABF Outlook Backup - sounds like exactly what I
want.
