outlook 2000 and xp home

I have just installed outlook 2000 on a new computer that came with xp home. When I went to find the outlook.pst file in outlook in indicated that it was in the following directory:

C:\documents and settings\myusername\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\

However, on the xp home pc there is no such directory! Does any know what is going on?

its there, but its hidden. Enable "show hidden files" in your folder options.

Of course, that was the first thing that I did. Still, it was not there. The directory structure did not exist.

It might be silly, but you did remember to replace "myusername" with your login name, right ? If you did, how far can you get in the path ? Until "Local settings" ? Further ?

I rebooted this morning and the path was there just as expected. I have no idea why it was not there yesterday. The only thing that I can come up with is that I just installed MS Office yesterday. Perhaps I added my name as a user after the installation and did not reboot.

Thanks for all the support.
