Advanced - Adding a Secondary pst file without opening Outlook.
Where does outlook store the settings which aren't included in the pst files.
I am trying to find away to simply copy the requisite files without any user interaction and so need to know what file stores the settings so that I can copy this file and the extra pst file and not need any input from the user. I want to add an extra pst file to outlook without opening the program. |

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile when Outlook starts, for example to add a .pst file.
