Help with Outlook, where are the message and address book stored

[johnsun1976]

Hi, this is pretty urgent. I was fooling around with my users account in W2K and I accidently deleted my main login user.. I thought it was no problem and added it back again.. I also had to create another profile for my brother.. So I logged in as my brother's account and it looked fine.. Then I logged in with my own account and when I tried to open Outlook, there was an error message about relinking, and all my messages and contacts where gone.. Am I screwed or is there a way to find my messages? The only thing I really need though if my address book back.. HELP!!
John

Do a search of your hard drives, you'll be looking for either *.pst or *.pab files. These are your Contacts list and your Personal Address Book files. If you find these then open Outlook and go to, FILE, click on Import/Export and Import these into Outlook. Provided you find them and they are'nt corrupt you should be good to go...
