I'm using Office XP on Win XP SP2. I very carefully created and saved
some customized views. This morning my computer hiccuped, and I had
to reinstall Office. I had backed-up my *.pst folder, so I imported
it. Unfortunately, it did not include my customized views or my
filters.

How can I make sure these items -- all customized items (in addition
to email and folders) -- are preserved when I make a backup?

Thank you.

They already are preserved -- in the backup .pst file. Instead of importing, you need to open that backup file (or a copy of it) and make it your default .pst file.
