Hi Everybody,

I'm A Foreigner living in Turkey and a friend of mine, Unbeknownced to me
decided that he would download an English Language copy of Office To my
Machine because I have difficulty understanding the windows in Turkish. When
I opened the Program and found my 'surprise' I discovered that all
folderlinks to my outlook had been severed and that I cannot seem to link
them back. I have many important things here, both business and pleasure....
HELP!!!!

The installation probably created a new mail profile. Use the Mail applet
in Control Panel to connect that profile to your old PST. The default
location for it is %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. That's a hidden folder. If you don't find it,
enable viewing hidden files and folders and search for it. Here's a couple
links that may help. You may also have to run Outlook once wth the
/resetfoldernames command line switch after connecting your old PST.
