Re: Cannot find hidden folder and outlook.pst

The OL data file is a hidden file when installed to the 'default location'

To the OP you are looking in the wrong location

Hello,
in a cmd:

dir /AHS "C:\Document and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook"

You may also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"

But that may not be the point, i don't think pst files are hidden.

You may get or check the good location from outlook:

I am trying to look my outlook.pst data file in C:\Document and
Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook but I
cannot
find it. I selected Tools > Folder Options > View tab, I selected "Show
hidden files and folders" and yet I still cannot see the hidden file. I
can
see that there are 12 hidden files shown on the status bar. I tried
selecting
"Show hidden files and folders" many times and yet I cannot see the
hidden
files.

How can I see the hidden files? What is preventing me from seeing the
hidden
files? Is there any other way?
