Windows 7 My user folder is invisible
I can't help with the folder issue, but I just did what you want to do with
a .pst file for outlook 2007 in a new Vista Home Premium box. I copied the pst file from my old XP machine to a USB flash drive, and then plugged that into the Vista maching. Then in outlook on the new box I used it's import function and pointed it to the USB key. HAL "Kevryl" wrote in message ... Hello all, Somewhere there HAS to be a Windows 7 discussion group, but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the Microsoft discussion groups tree. Someone in here may be able to help or at least point me to a Win 7 discussion group. I have just bought 2 identical machines with Win 7 installed. My user account is there on both (libraries documents right click properties) immediately under c:\users, but when I go to c: drive, I find only public and default, and when invited to "search in sub-folders" an unintelligibnle mish-mash of files and folders appear, and still my own user folder is not visible (even after playing with the alphabetical selection down arrow). I have gone into folder options/view and selected "show hidden folders, files and drives" and even unticked "hide unprotected operating system files". My user account still wont appear so I can get into it and copy my "outlook.pst" file from the old machine into its rightful place on the new ones. If anyone can help me with this issue, and how to get from this mish-mash of flattened out fiolders and files into a real directory structure I'd be most appreciative! |

Windows 7 My user folder is invisible
Hi Hal,
I did bring the .pst file across and put it in the Outlook directory. Outlook found it OK, but still says it can't find som of the mailbox folders. Calendar, Tasks, In and Out boxes and some other mailboxes are OK, as is my Contacts folder. Even view settings are mostly intact, but some mailboxes can't be accessed. Remember too I'm on Windows 7 Thanks. "~hp-hdx~" wrote: I can't help with the folder issue, but I just did what you want to do with a .pst file for outlook 2007 in a new Vista Home Premium box.
