In which language are you writing your "little software tool"? These properties are most accessible
to extended MAPI, for which the API is designed for C/C++. If you are interested in how to use
extended MAPI to access this data, let me know.

Lately I've been trying to make a little software tool that would back
up several information, on wich PST files are included.

I know I may find cases on which there could be more than one profile
and each of them having one or more .pst files.

I searched everywhere but couldn't find some certain info on where the
information about .pst files is stored.

However, I found this vague information:

There's a registry key in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles

There is a key value named "Default Profile" with the name of the
default profile (d'oh!) and also there's subkeys to each of the
profiles.

So, in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\profileName\ I would find some info on the profile
settings. There's a subkey named 9207f3e0a3b11019908b08002b2a56c2, in
which more CLSIDs are named, each one of them with different info (such
as Personal Folders, Address Files, Account Info and such).

But how do I know what's the exact name on which the location of the
pst file is/are located? I could find that one on my PC, but nothing
guarantees me it'll be the same on another PC.

Thanks in advance, and please forgive me for my poor english.-
