Outlook Files

[SRJ]

Instead of hiding outlook files, why don't you store them under
/documents/outlook, then a file for mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks (in
English)? That way they would get backed up. I just went through a
miserable "upgrade" from vista to win 7, it failed, had to re-install vista,
disk got wiped, and now, despite backing up documents and settings for all
users, my outlook files were lost. Also, dell data safe - local was also
lost, so there is no sense in using this product.

By default the pst-files are stored in a subfolder of the Documents and
Settings (XP) or Users (Vista and 7) folder, so if you made a full backup of
that, then your pst-files were automatically backed up as well. Your (My)
Documents folder is a sub folder of that as well.

In Outlook 2010, pst-files are by default stored in a subfolder of your (My)
Documents folder.

You can always see the paths to you pst-files via;
File-> Data File Management...
