recovering outlook 2000 data from crashed computer
My laptop XP system crashed hard, and the system is unrecoverable, so I
have to do a system restore. Before I do, I have taken the hard drive out, put in in an external usb case, and backed up all my "data" except my most recent Outlook. I have not saved a pst for about 3 weeks (I save them in my backup folder). I thought that there was a "native" pst file that outlook 2000 generated, but when I do a search for *.pst on the drive, all I find are my backup copies. When I look in C:/DocumentsAndSettings/User/dapplication data/microsoft/outlook/ I don't find a pst file. The largest file I find in that folder is 1.4 MB (MY last saved pst is about 1.3GB) Does MS outlook 2000 store my email/calendar/etc. data someplace else? Can I just copy all of X, Y, and Z folders to my new computer (outlok 2000 is already installed on it but no data)? iF so, what folders should I copy? How is it that I don't ahve a pst file? That seems weird to me. any ideas? Thanks, I am out of comission until I figure it out... Mark |

It's easier to simply re-add your accounts manually. rules, I believe those are in a file whose extension is .rwz in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and signatures.
