Where does Outlook 2007 store account settings?

[Peter Hurford]

Hi,

I got an annoying message when I logged onto Windows the other day,
"local profile could not be found". This is a documented error and I
got around it the documented way, by basically logging on as another
account, backing up the offending profile, then recreating it and
copying the old files across.

Everything was ok thereafter, but I noticed none of my Office 2007
settings came across. For the most part this wasn't a problem, but the
big problem was that I had seven or eight POP accounts set up in
Outlook and none of them were showing.

I've recreated the two or three "main" accounts manually, but was
hoping to retrieve the settings for the other accounts and just be
able to copy them across to the new profile somehow.

But I couldn't see where the account settings had been stored. Does
anyone know?

TIA,
Pete

Part of it is here in the registry:
