Outlook multiple profiles

[Ian@1904]

Our home PC runs MS XP and Outlook (not Express) and we have two desktop profiles - me and SWMBO. I need to back up the outlook files.
I can find my files under C:documents and settings\me\localsettings\applications\microsoft\o utlook

But I can't find any other files of .pst .pad etc and no similar files under SWMBO profile

Are SWMBO's emails and contacts also stored in the same files but in a different section within the file? I need to ensure that her emails etc are backed up.

I would have expected to find the files for swmbo under c:\documents and settings\swmbo\etc...

If they are not there, you will have to get swmbo to ope their account and look and the properties of their files.

Outlook is a complete pain in the wotsit with where it stores and how it manages files.

I tend to use this little add in from Micro$oft Download details: Outlook 2003/2002 Add-in: Personal Folders Backup that makes managing them easier - you may have it already but it is easier than File-Import/Export.

What I would suggest to be on the safe side is for you to open your outlook account and back it up and then SWMBO does the same with hers.

Good luck!
