PST File: PST (Personal Storage Table) is basically the compacted form for ‘Personal Store’, which is your personal email storage space in Microsoft Outlook email program. In Outlook, your mailbox information is stored in files with PST extension. These are thus called PST files, which are the major storage entities holding your mail messages, Address Book contacts, tasks entries, calendars, to-do lists, journals etc.
PST File Location: In a situation where you might need to make a backup copy of your MS Outlook email data, which you know is saved in PST file but even after a long system search, you are unable to find that PST file. At that time, you are bound to think that where is that PST file are located. Where does your Outlook email program keep these PST files holding your crucial mailbox data? So, here is some info you might be eagerly searching for – the location of your PST file of Outlook. You can use Outlook itself to find this location, as PST file is the major storage entity for it.
Default PST File Location: In Windows XP version, the default PST file location is normally the one mentioned below:

\Documents And Settings\username (username is your Windows login account name)

OR

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Non-Default PST File Location: However, there can always be a chance that your Outlook PST file is stored in some location other than the default location mentioned above. In that case, we would say that the PST file is located at some non-default location.
Locate PST File: The simplest and speediest way to locate PST file is explained below:


  1. Open the ‘tree view’ of Outlook mailbox folders

  2. The top level item (Personal Folder) represents a separate PST
