Archive .pst and can't read

[Donna]

I just archived my Outlook .pst files (emails, and
folders) to a 100mb zip disk. When I try to open them it
ask me for a program to open them with. How do I get them
back or what would I use to open them>

You can't open them through Windows; they must be opened from within
Outlook. See if the information on the following page helps:

Yes, and in Outlook 2003 it is {File / Open / Outlook Data File...}. They
gotta change it every time.

It was File | Open | Outlook Data File in Outlook 2002 as well.

Oops, I spoke out of turn. I went straight from Outlook 2000 to Outlook
2003.
