How do you access the outlook.pst file in Outlook 02/XP Pro?

[maid marian]

I'm trying to sync two home PCs to one .pst file. I can see what I think is the .pst file I need when Search for it using Windows Explorere in the following directory

c:\documents and settings\my name\local settings\application data\microsoft\outloo

(To see it when I search I need to enable the "Show Hidden Files" function.

My problem is that when I go back to Windows Explorer to try to move this file to a shared directory where hopefully both computers will be able to run off of it, the "local settings" subdirectory does not show up

Can someone tell me what I need to do to access and move this file?? Thanks

Also, has anyone out there successfully synched two PCs to one .pst file using a wireless home network??

Not just show hidden FILES...you need to show hidden and system FOLDERS too.
The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
