moved pst files, moved them back, can't open outlook 2007

I wanted to move my outlook files onto a second hard drive in my computer
that I have all my data files on for backup purposes. I moved, not copied,
my files from:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook to
D:\MyDocuments\Outlook .
When I started outlook up again, I pointed outlook where to look for the
files, and it worked just fine. When I tried to sync my phone with outlook,
I got the error message that the phone could not sync with outlook; don't
remember exactly what it said. I moved the files back to the original
location on the C:\ drive. When I open outlook now, I get the following
error message:
Cannot open your default e-mail folders. File access is denied. You do not
have the permission required to access the file
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ Outlook.pst . When I
click ok, the program closes. So, I moved the file back to the D:\ drive and
when I open outlook I get the following message:
The file C:\Users|UserName|AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ Outlook.pst
cannot be found. When I click the ok button, I get a Create/Open Personal
Folders File box that shows the pst file in D:\ where I put it. When I click
ok, I get the following:
File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access
the file D:\MyDocuments\Outlook\Outlook.pst. When I click ok, it goes
back to the Create/Open Personal Folders File. I click cancel 2x and the box
will close and outlook closes.

What can I do?

Sounds like you may have corrupted the profile, Create a new Outlook
Profile - not copy - (prompt for Profile)add the data file, from your
prefered location, add the accounts & test

How do I do this? I can't get into outlook to do anything. Once this is
done, do I just move my pst files back to where? I'm pretty new at this
outlook thing. Thanks for the help.

Copy your pst's first to your prefered data location
Use the Mail applet in the Control Panel (classic View)

Move or copy as you please. Copy may be better because then you have a
backup. See this for instructions on how to create a new profile:

Thanks. I got a new profile made I guess. But I can't get my old pst files
into it. I copied them into the
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook location, but then outlook
went back to the same error messages and wouldn't open. I made another
profile, so I can get it opened, but for the life of me can't figure out from
the article you both sent me what to do next. What steps do I take to get my
original files back onto the c drive? They currently are on my d
drive...This is way above my head. I'll settle for it staying on the c drive
if i can just get my files back into outlook...thanks again..

You DONT copy pst files to the default location, locate copied pst's at some
othe location, eg Documents folder
In creating the new Profile add the data file from that location
