System slow, like to rebuild the machine - can some one tell what all files
to be backed up other than the personal folder?
thanks in advance
 
Dear,
You may need to copy the following other than the pst.

outcmd.dat - Registered Microsoft Exchange extensions (.dat)
Outlook.srs - Send/Receive settings (.srs)
Outlook.NK2 - Outlook contacts nicknames (.nk2)
Outlook.xml - Navigation Pane settings (.xml)

The four files mentioned above are usually located at C:\Documents and
Settings\computer_login_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. There is a
set of these files for each profile you may have created in Outlook. When
rebuilding a system, copy these files to an external source and then recopy
them to the same folder when the rebuild is complete.
