Files in Office

[Admiral Huddy]

I was under the impression that the personal files in Office where held in .PST files. However, I can't find them. I thought they were in the users hidden application data folder.

Any ideas?

That's Outlook's data file format, default location: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook (pop that in a run box).

It's always annoyed me there's 2 app data folders (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data, and %USERPROFILE%\Application Data). Think they sorted that in Vista.

ah that may explain it. Will give that a look later. Thanks Daz.

My dad got in a muddle with this transferring his settings over last night. I had to point him in the right direction. I'm fully aware of it and it still confuses me sometimes.

Well I'm glad it's been confirmed I'm not totally stupid :p

Well, they at least put Local and Roaming in the same place. Still two directories to search, but at least the same starting point.
