Outlook Restore

I had to re-install Office 2000 after a crash and after
re-nstalling XP Professional. All my old files are
intact but Outlook doesn't open with my old mail, folders
and contact list.

How do I get Outlook to recognize these?

Does it give you an error or does it open up empty?

Locate your pst-file and then connect to it by File-> Open-> Personal Data
File...

Found the .pst file using Search but couldn't find it
using Outlook. So I located the file again using Search,
copied it to my C:\ root directory and bingo!

Thanks for the help.

It it (was) located in a hidden folder. In Explorer you can use Tools->
Folder Options... to make it visible (next time) ;-)
