Outlook.pst file

J

Using Office XP Pro on a Windows XP Pro machine. No
network.

In preparing to reformat my hard drive and re-install
everything, I went looking for my outlook.pst file to make
sure I had it backed up. The only one I found on my hard
drive had a last modified date from 2003. Curious, I
renamed it and then opened Outlook, expecting to get an
error. But I didn't. Outlook opened fine, with all my
contacts, old emails, etc.

My question: what file is it using to get that data? That
outlook.pst was the only file with a pst extension on my
whole drive. Got me scratching my head.

Thanks in advance.

Did you search to include hidden?
In OL the properties of yr pst will show its path.
