Outlook pst on my desktop

Post by jmt356 »

There was an Outlook pst on my desktop. I wasn't sure why it was there so I deleted it. Now when I open Outlook, my pst opens fine, but then I get a pop up stating "The file C:\Users... ... Desktop\Outlook.pst could not be found. When I click OK, another window opens that states Create/Open Personal Folders File. I navigated to C:\Users\...Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst. Will I encounter any problems? Do I need to restore that pst to my Desktop? I don't remember how it got there. Maybe I was testing something some time ago.
Regards,

JMT

I'd restore it, then see if more than one personal folders file is displayed when you start Outlook. You can then close the one you don't need.
Best wishes,
