I changed the name on my administrator account on my computer. However once this account was created it overwrote my original administrator account without warning and in doing so it appears to have deleted all of my old e-mails.

I work in a small office with no IT help. The computer that this happened to is no longer on the internet. I need to somehow get these "lost in space" old Outlook 2000 contacts and old emails found and then transferred with out using internet. I rode the short bus to computer school so please explain in novice language......
Thank you.

In all likelihood, you haven't "overwritten" the old Admin account, you should have created a new name for it. Somewhere in the profiles folder there should be a file where your .pst files were kept. I think that what you need to do is find the file and take ownership of it.

Unfortunately, I am sitting in front of a Mac so can't reproduce your problem. And unfortunately have to be across town in 30 minutes. There are some good people on the site so someone should be able to walk you through the steps.

Good luck.

I still need help from anyone out there that can help me find the old Outlook 2000 files on my old computer and transfer them to my new computer. My new system is Windows XP Professional Version 2002.
