Searching for my .pst files I find they all have last modified dates in 2005.
Why don't I have files with more recent dates?

We weren't there. You were. You tell us.
Are you searching in the proper place and have you included hidden files in
your search?

Thanks, Russ. I appreciate your help.
I have found backup.pst, mailbox.pst, and outlook. pst. I burned them on a
CD.
Now, even though I am the only person who uses this computer, and I am the
Administer, when I try to import them from my CD I am told I do not have
permission.

Do NOT import them. Copy them to your hard drive, remove the read-only
property and use Outlook's File->Open->Outlook Data File.
Importing/exporting is meant for translating a non-0utlook file to Outlook's
format. The .pst file is ALREADY in that format.
