Default Archive Files Missing

I recently had to reformat my system. I saved the .pst files (backup, Outlook
and Archive) and transferred them into the folder for Outlook after the
reformat. Outlook runs fine with all the Contacts present, but the Archive
folder is not there under All Outlook Items. When I go to Data File
Management, the Archive folder is not shown there either. It is in the folder
with the other .pst files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Because there is nothing more to add ;-)
Perhaps; "Browse to the file and click OK a bunch of times" but I figured
that should be obvious.
Feel free to ask and pinpoint where you get stuck.
