    Re: Outlook .PST file location?

    The easiest and quickest way I know of is to open the "tree view" of your folders, if you haven't already:

    Each top level item, normally called "Personal Folders", or "Outlook Today", represents a separate PST. Right click on it and then select Properties. Now click on the Advanced button.

    And there, right in the middle of everything, is the Filename and the full path to the PST. In this case you'll notice that I'm most definitely using a non-standard location. Yours will most assuredly be different. The default location under Windows XP is typically a location underneath "\Documents And Settings\username", where "username" is your Windows login account name.

    Check in following location in your system:

    C:\Documents and Settings\user_id\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
