I deleted a user account and did not realize that my outlook was not backed up in a PST file. I am using XP 2003 Home. I have been told there is no way to recover them. They are VERY important and will try what ever necessary Any ideas?

If so, roll back to before you deleted the account

perform a search of the entire computer for any .pst file. i think what ms labels it as is an office data file (?) but it has the 4 color/flag ms icon next to it when you choose to search for only certain file types.

what happened to me was that i set up an admin acct on a computer whose user looked at too much porn and infected the pc beyond recognition. after exporting the outlook file and reimporting it in an admin acct after reinstalling xp pro, the user deleted the admin account, losing the whole 1 gb .pst file. i had already deleted it from the flash drive i used to export/import and thought it was lost. was going to pay someone to do data recovery for the file then for s--t's and giggles tried a search. the .pst file was still there.

happy hunting.
