Default Accidentally deleted Outlook profile


Need some help from someone smart....

I was having trouble with my Outlook (syncing with Activesync, closing
properly, etc.) I had tried Xobni..liked it but decided it may have
been part of the problem. So i uninstalled it. Then I was totally
unable to open Outlook. Period. Searched for a solution, and found
out how to go to regedit, and change the registry profile. I didn't
see any warning that I would lose my Outlook files (emails, contacts,
calendar), so I proceeded. Good news: I am now able to use Outlook
again. Bad news: all old emails are gone. I was able to recover
calendar via my Google calendar sync, and my contacts via my smartphone
sync. But all emails are gone.

Does anyone know of a process to recover emails from this process?

The mail is still there in the data file, probably named outlook.pst
Within outlook, FileOpenData File...browse to and open it.

PS There is no registry hack required to delete or creat a new profile, you
simply use the mail applet in the Control Panel. Niether does
uninstall/Reinstall do anything for a corrupt profile.
Obviously you failed to look at any of the numerous Outllook help sites or
MS for a solution
