default pst file

[Dan]

When I let Office restore to factory defaults, it started Outlook from
scratch and opened a new pst file. How do I change the default pst file to
my old one and eliminate the new one?

Thanks

WOW! What a auser friendly process!

Anyway, I now have teo copies of "MyPersonalFolders" showing and they are
linked (delete from one and it deletes from both) AND my address book si not
present in either one.

Is there another ten page procedure that Microsoft has dreamed up for this
situation? (Sorry but this is a riduculas operation because I wanted Power
Point to straighten up and fly right.)

Thanks
