Having trouble determining how to back up my emails from Outlook. Used to be able to find the *.pst files in Windows 98 and do back up but now using XP and can't find the files. Where are they buried in here? My emails are a critical part of my entire filing system.
 
Open Outlook and go to File --> Export and export your Inbox to a .pst file.
 
On the boot volume look in "Documents & Settings--> username--> Local Settings --> Application Data-->Microsoft", where username is the name of the Outlook user. Or just do a search for "*.pst" and see what you get.
