Searching
Feb 26, 2006 6:29AM PST

When I do a search for *.PST or *.PAB files, nothing shows up. Folder Options is set to ''show all files and folders''

P.S. I have one partition and it's searching that partition.

XP's search is not reliable.

There are many reasons why it fails. But if you have no .PST files, then your data is gone.

If I need to search for files, I don't ask Windows Explorer.

In Outlook, in tools or options or the properties is where the file is...

The link I provided does have the information but with each user, the directory is in that named user's directory structure so I can't tell you exactly where.
