where is pst file?

[Gaz_57]

I am trying to carry my outlook file from one PC to another (both running XP
professional) and I have copied my outlook.pst file onto a CD (95Mb file)
and I can't find a PSt on the second computer ... what's up ? .... The
outlook is version 2002 on both PC's as well .... any body any ideas ?

Many thanks

Garry

Windows Explorer under Windows XP will not traverse hidden/system
directories in a search unless you configure it to do so. (By the way, I am
assuming that Outlook 2002 has been run @ least once. If it is a clean
install of operating system + office/outlook and outlook has never been ran,
then there won't be any "data" files.)

In any event, Outlook stores data under \documents and
settings\<userid>\application data\microsoft\outlook and \documents and
settings\<userid>\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook.
