Default Recovering my Outlook Data

"YBeaupre" wrote in message
...

I experienced a crash and had to reinstall Vista and all my applications.
Fortunately I keep all my data on a separate physical drive.

How can I restore my Outlook data stored in “D:\Outlook\Outlook.pst” and
“D:\Oulook\Archive.pst” ? Can you also indicate how to configure Outlook to
permanently point and save all data in the same location? I did this only
ounce and I don’t remember how to achieve it again.


Open the Mail applet in Control Panel and click Data Files. Add your data
files to your mail profile and make the Outlook.pst file the default file. In
Outlook, click ToolsOptionOtherAutoArchive and change the archive file to
be the Archive.pst file you were using.
