Hi,
I had outlook2003 installed on my machine for long time and had lot of my
mails backed up in personal folders. Yesterday I required to install
outlook2002, for the purpose I uninstalled outlook 2003. Today when I
reinstalled my outlook 2003, I found that my personal folders are lost. I
tried to serach for the .pst files, but failed to find any. Please let me
know it there's any way out.
Waiting....

Did you enable Hidden and System Files in your search? (XP considers pst
files to be hidden..........)
The default location is as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\{Your user Name}\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

No it doesn't. The Local Settings and Application Data folders are both
hidden, but PSTs do not have that attribute.
