Outlook 2003 - During the process of establishing additional profiles, I
deleted the "Outlook" profile. Now I have no access to my contacts or my
emails that were associated with this deleted profile. How can I get these
back? HELP!!!
PS: I realize that I erred, but it seems like sloppy software engineering
not to warn the user of the potential issues associated with changing their
profile. I need idiot proof direction!
 
Look for a file with a .pst extension (enable searching hidden/system
folders) and that is where all of your Outlook information is stored.
Configure your profile to use that .pst file. Nothing has been lost unless
you deleted the .pst file.

Thanks Milly! You were a great help. I found the files and I am now trying
to do what you said regarding configuruing my new Profiles to include the
information. I assume that I will find the answer somewhere in the edit
profile process, but if you want to holod my hand through this, feel free!
There is nothing that i can't mess up!
