I apologize Russ . I didn't realize that the Technet and Outlook Boards were
considered one. It won't happen again? Although, I did receive a response to
my technet posting (Windows XP) about Outlook not being restored to a
previous state with Windows XP restore capability. The replying person
suggested I post my inquiry on the Outlook board which I guess would be a
multipost -- Right? Anyhow, I'll ask this question as part of the existing
thread I have in my original post.
Thanks for your correction. As you might suspect, I'm not a frequent user of
these boards. However, when you're in trouble they are invaluable

My Outlook Program won't open the Personal Folder that contains all my
e-mail
information. For some reason I have several personal folders listed and
the
one that Outlook opens is a generic one. I am operating with Windows XP
Professional and Outlook 2002 which is part of my Office package. It was
operating correctly earlier today but not now.
In location C:\ Documents & Settings \ Ray19 \ Local Settings \
Application
Data \ Microsoft \ Outlook \ here I have the following folder
Microsoft(1)
and the following files -- extend.dat, Outlook1.pst, Outlook2.pst,
Outlook.bak, Outlook.log and Personal Folder(1).pst. : Microsoft (1)
folder
contains a folder Outlook(1) and the file Outlook1.pst : Outlook(1)
folder
contains the file Outlook1.pst and this file contains all my Outlook
e-mail
files I believe.
Can anyone help me straighten this mess out? Oh, and compounding my
confusion is that in location C:\ Program Files \ Microsoft Office \
Office
10 \ 1033 are some more Outlook files and the file OUTLOOK.exe is under
the
Office 10 location?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to lose my
e-mail
files and their history/
Thanks, in advance for any help provided.
