Right-click, choose Properties, uncheck "Read only". Now try to open it again in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Open Windows Explorer. Click Tools>Folder Options. Select the View tab. Select the radio button "Show hidden files and folders". It's a good idea as well to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types". -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: Willy on 16 Apr 2010 19:01 Brian, this got the backup from month ago working. Original must have got deleted as a result of my not closing Outlook when deleting other programs. Lesson learned. -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" <tillman1952(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:OETNY2Z3KHA.4540(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > "Willy" <justask(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:%23DLxQBZ3KHA.1016(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > >> I've got Hidden Files Enabled now, still lost pst, however, I've a copy >> of Outlook.pst file I had on a CD-RW as backup, copied it to appropriate >> folder but it won't let me open Outlook as it says I do not have >> authority/access but I'm logged on as Administrator?????????????? > > Right-click, choose Properties, uncheck "Read only".

Brian, even though I now have my backup outlook.pst in the proper folder and after doing as you suggested, a search will still not find outlook.pst or *.pst, and Outlook is Closed when doing this search. I've triple cheeked spelling, C: drive, etc. Wonder why it's not finding it though I see it? I wonder now if my up to date outlook.pst is on here but just not being found? -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" <tillman1952(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:O5J921Z3KHA.1624(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > "Willy" <justask(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:e$yLqZX3KHA.4016(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > >> How is that done Brian? > > Open Windows Explorer.
