Pst File size not matched in Windows Explorer

[Carol Steinel]

I've recently reorganized and deleted a bunch of entries in Outlook 2000.
The PST size in Outlook (from "properties"/file size) shows as 75905k, but
in my Windows Explorer view the pst shows as 87216k. Any idea why? I've
searched at slipstick.com and haven't found an explanation for this.

Just curious and any help appreciated.

thanks

There is always a little overhead in the file because Outlook doesn't tell
you about the hidden items in the file. (Hidden items are custom views,
inbox rules, free/busy information, .etc)
