Hi Dave and Neil,
Thanks for your replies.
Dave, the full details of XP are: Ver 5.1(Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633:Service
Pack 1. On the PC I use, the version number is identical and that Search
function finds *.pst files without any problems.
Neil, I have tried ticking 'Display contents of System folders' in Folder
Options with no success!
As I said, it is no great problem, but I am a bit concerned that the data file
could be in someway corrupt and thus not reliable if copied to another location
for back up purposes!
Thanks for your interest

XP's search app is a touch brain dead, but adding 'view system files' may help
too... ;-)

Hi Everyone,
Not so much a problem, more a matter of satisfying my curiosity!
In a network of 8 PCs all running Windows XP Professional, I have suggested to
everyone that they periodically locate and save (to the Server) their
Outlook.pst files for use in the event of a total disaster with the own work
station. All was well until one person was unable to find the file using the XP
Search facility. The file exists in the normal location (Documents and
settings>user>Local Settings>ApplicationData>Microsoft>Outlook) so can anyone
explain why it could not be found? I have selected 'Show hidden files and
folders' which I thought may have obstructed the search. (This particular PC is
using Outlook 2002 SP2 and XP Service Pack 1).
Thanks for any comments anyone may have,
Roger
