Hello there

I am using OL 2002. Today i received an e-mail with attachment an .exe file in zipped format. I was asked to run the .exe file..... and now to my surprise i found that
all the names of Folder's names namely - Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Outbox, Calendar, Tasks had canged into our local language. But the sub-folder's name have not changed. They are the same as i had named it while i created those

How do i again get back these locally named folders as again 'Inbox', 'Sent Items' etc. folders with thier original names??. I guess why OL did not blocked this attachment?? Is that becaues the .exe file was in zipped format?

Any suggestions for this.....I desperately need help

Thanks in advance.
 
Try starting Outlook once with the /resetfoldernames switch. There also are
a couple of free tools listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/housekeeping.htm that can help you reset
folder
names.

Outlook does not block .zip files. You should never run an .exe even if it
appears in a .zip file, unless you know the sender *and* confirm with them
that the file is legitimate.

Many Thanks in advance

What does "couldn't get through" mean? You need to export on your machine,
then take the file to the other machine and import it there.
