My computer crashed and I had someone recover -hopefully- my Outlook files.
They're between two folders, one he called "Outlook - In Application Files,"
and another one just called "Outlook." I re-loaded Outlook and am now trying
to put the right files in the right place so I can use them again. I don't
know what needs to go where. I'm also hoping my old emails are in a file in
there somewhere as well. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional and Office
2000. Can anyone help? TIA!

All Outlook data is stored in one file. The file you need is your Personal
Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are
stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
