  Hi!! "By default (On Windows XP) Outlook stores the e-mail, address book, agenda and notes in the OUTLOOK.PST file, stored in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\user account\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\." From "Backup your personal data, drivers and settings (documents and settings)": http://www.optimizingpc.com/install/backupdata.html Note that this default location is by default a hidden folder, to see it open an Explorer window (for example double click the MyPC's icon at the desktop), then on the Tools menu, click Folder Options --> on the View tab, under Advanced Settings, check Show hidden files and folders under Hidden Files and Folders. To see all file name extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box under Files and Folders. The hidden folders will appear dimmed to indicate its special status. For additional information and tips for making Outlook backups see: "Backup your personal data, drivers and settings (documents and settings)": http://www.optimizingpc.com/install/backupdata.html "Microsoft Office Assistance: Move your Outlook data file to another location": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011124801033.aspx "Microsoft Office Assistance: Using the Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders Backup tool": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010875321033.aspx Search strategy: pst documents settings folder I hope this helps you.
