recovering contacts and emails
Are we to assume that you are not running against Exchange Server and are an
end user with a local data file? If so, the file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Pablo" wrote in message news  I am trying to recover all contacts and saved emails from a laptop that does not work.

recovering contacts and emails
Yes, I am not on an exchange server.
I can get as far as G:\Users\"My name"\ but I cannot open the Local settings folder. It says it is not accesible and access is denied. The folder is transparent and has a shortcut mark in the corner. I followed the instructions to show all hidden files etc... There are other folders with the same issues, Application Data, cookies, Local settings, plus 5or6 other folders. all trasparent with a shortcut mark. They all also say they contain 0 Bytes. I am able to open some folders AppData, Desktop, pictures etc... Any help would be great.

Not an Outlook issue. This is an operating system issue you'll need to
pursue in an OS group. Are you running as an administrator with permission to access these files? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Pablo" wrote in message ... Yes, I am not on an exchange server.

Pablo,
Can you search with Windows Explorer, for example, for *.pst files? If you can, then see if you can't copy them. Another approach, use Linux. I have a version of Knoppix on a CD with which then I can access files without worrying about permissions. In any case, for further assistance then, as suggested, post your problem in an OS forum, such as, http://www.vistax64.com/ or http://www.winvistaclub.com/ Good luck, Karl "Pablo" wrote in message ...
