!) where are the outlook pst files and how are they named?
I have 2 problems 1) I have a personal folder that has disappeared. Outlook
said one day "This folder is not available" now it's not listed with the other folders? 2) I can't find the pst folders. Where are they located and how are they named? I tried to run the "scapst.exe" but don't know what file to point it to.

There are multiple reasons why this may have happened. What did you change on your PC just before "one day"? 2) I can't find the pst folders. Where are they located and how are they named? I tried to run the "scapst.exe" but don't know what file to point it to. In Outlook click FileData File Management and look or open the Mail applet in Control Panel, click the Data Files button and look. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Thanks for the suggestion Brian, I was able to do as you said but, can't find the file even after clicking on properties, the lnk it gives does not exist on my disk So still can not run scanpst.exe against the file. Propertis says "documents andsettings\bill\localsettings\applicationdata\mic rosoft" I can not find "localSettings" on my disk. There are multiple reasons why this may have happened.

The "Local Settings" folder is, as Pat says, hidden. The browsing feature won't show you hidden files and folders. You have two choices. As Pat indicates, you can enable viewing hidden files and folders. The other choice is to just enter the entire, fully-qualified file name in the prompt window without browsing. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
