Calendars and System Restore

I have had to do a full system restore a couple of times in the past year and
for the most part I was pretty fortunate in being able to retrieve just about
everything on my hard drive, with the help of some retrieval software. One of
the biggest problems was trying to retrieve and restore the data on my MS
Works 7 calendar. I recently purchased MS Office 2003 (Student/Teacher
version), and I am trying to decide if I should use the Outlook calendar or
stick with the MS Works calendar (I don't like having to open Outlook and
then my email, etc, etc, to access the Outlook calendar; I think I prefer the
simplicity of the Works calendar). In either case, for the Outlook or the
Works calendar, is it possible to restore items posted or to find a copy of
the calendar somewhere in the system with the retrieval software? I am
getting better about backing up, archiving, etc., but none of this helped as
far as my calendar was concerned the last time I had to do a system restore.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

You can certainly create a shortcut that will open Outlook in your Calendar
when it starts.

In Outlook, all your data (i.e., calendar, contacts, mail, tasks, notes,
etc.) are contained within the same file.  It's called a "Personal Folders"
file, or PST.  Backing up a PST is EASY.  With Outlook closed, just copy it
somewhere for safe-keeping.  See this:
