For Outlook 2002/2003, open Control Panel, run the Mail applet, and click
Data Files to see where your PST is.

I open Control Panel but don't see the "mail applet" to click o data files.  
Where can that be found?  I am new to the "inbox repair" problem.

If you cannot see the mail applet in CP, right-click on the Outlook icon
on your desktop to manage your accounts.

You can also check the location of your data files with the File | Data File Management command in Outlook.

Dave,
Very interesting technique.  Can you shed some light on what the syntax
means? I know this is off topic for OL, but I'm very interested in
"searching".  

My email is pyramid36@gmail.com ,

Thanks,

What are you talking about? He posted an URL which was the result of a
search query.

I had this problem too. Pain in the ... I tried everything but would get the
message Errors have been detected in file
c:documents@settings/applicationdata/microsoft/outlook.outlook1.pst. Quit
outlook and all mailenable griops and use inbox repair tool scanpst.ext to
diagonost and repair....

HUH?? No real answers. My items wouldn't delete. Nothing worked until by
accident I figured out how to do it. Lots of people are having this issue
with no HeLP... Simple language
Step 1: Go in your start menu bottom left corner
Step 2: Click on SEARCH (NOT run)
Step 3: In the chose of Search files and folders make sure you check the box
that shows if you want hidden files.
Step 4: There will be 3 boxes ...In the search top box type in the words
scanpst.exe , leave the next box empty and the last box drop down menu you
choose to look in your C drive on your computer.
Step 5: It will search and find 2 scanpst files choose the top one that says
scanpst RIGHT click it. Opens all files in office 12 icons.
Step6: This is your Office 12 file believe it or not....Find the file that
says scanspst looks like a broken envelop if you have your settings to show
icons...open it to browse box
Step7: Type in the browse box exactly what file it said your error
was...EXAMPLE
mine was....

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook1.pst

It runs the file and actually repairs the files! Now I went in and deleted
all of the ones stuck in my inbox and my deleted items with no issues!!

P.S Another hint.....If you can not find what pst. file you need  you can go
into
your microsoft OUTLOOK
1. Go into TOOLS at top choose account settings
2. Then Click on Tab that says Data files
3. Right click and COPY the pst. file
4. Close all the outlook program.

This really is very easy to do ....after putting up with errors for over 1
month of trying to understand how to fix things with no one out there with an
easy answer. This will work I made it as easy as Microsoft should have to fix
this issue. How many of us really know where any of those stupid files are.
Good Luck!

I understand what you are going through. Smart people just don't give good
directions for the average person to be able to do. Common instructions is
all we need.
