How do I access emails which have been auto archived?

Outlook 2003 performs an auto archive. When I follow the path to archive.pst
I can't access contents of the archive. Microsoft says it doesn't know the
program that created the file, and no matter what program I try I can't open
the file.

In Outlook, click File>Open>Outlook Data File, browse to the archive PST,
select it, and click OK.

Thank you Brian. Your instructions open my archive folders but the "auto
archived" emails are not in those folders. I can't find where Outlook auto
archive has hidden them.

Outlook "hid" them where you told it to.
Look and see.
Tools > Options > Other > Autoarchive...

Thanks Russ, but now I have come full circle. If you check my original post,
when I follow the path to the archive.pst I can't access the contents;
Microsoft says it can't open the file. So, effectively, anything auto
archived is no longer available to me. It seems I will have to keep
everything, in case I need it in the future. Geez this drives me crazy.
