MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / August 2004MS Outlook .pst files location
I would like to find out the location of the Outlook .pst files programatically. The version that I'm interested in are Office 2000 and above. The only thing I found out browsing my registry was that they (for my Office 2002) seems to be under some kind of GUID keys, like: HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows messaging subsystem\profiles\outlook There are some GUID like keys. Some of them have a "001e6700" value which has as its data the .pst file full path. As I said before I would like to know if this is the way to find out the location and what are the locations for the other versions of Office. I know that there may be other .pst files than outlook.pst and that they may reside elswhere than C:\Documents and Settings\{user profile name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. 10x You will need to use either Extended MAPI (C++/Delphi only) or ProfMan: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/profiles.htm#example2 Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool > I would like to find out the location of the Outlook .pst files > programatically.
