To remove extra PST(s) from the folder list: Outlook 97 or Outlook 98/2000 (Corporate Mode) - On the Tools menu, click Services. - Highlight Personal Folders service you want to remove and click "Remove". Note: Standalone users require 1 Personal Folders Service. Those connecting to an Exchange server normally do not use a Personal Folders file when mail is kept on the server. Outlook 98/2000 (IMO [Internet Mail Only] Mode) - On the View menu, click Folder List. - Right click on the root folder of a folder list. - Right click on the root of the extra set of Personal Folders and choose "Disconnect" or "Close". For the most stuborn of PSTs that will not remove from the folder list. IMPORTANT: The following information contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the Windows folder. - Start RegEdit (Win9x/NT) or RegEdt32 (NT). - Navigate to: * Win9x users HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<your profile name> * WinNT users HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<your profile name> - Look in the tree under that point (it should be full of keys with long hexidecimal value names) and look for a section that references the PST file you want off of your folder tree. Export that section (for safety) and then delete it.

- 1. password protect outgoing mail attachments
I send out word + excel documents to tradesman specifying job details and costs. I've found at that they have been editing there own workloads! Is there any way that I can default a password to protect each outgoing attachment? Without individually passwording each document upon saving. Advice would be greatly appreciated. - 2. Out Office Assiatnt, Currently Out of the office does not do anyth
Hi, I go to Tools, Out of Office Assistant, I check radio button "I am Currently Out of The Office". If anyone emails me it does not do anything. I am currently on Office 2003 with Exchange server. Rest of coworkers also on Office 2003 they do not have any problems with this function. This setting used to work, no longer working. I did setup rules, but they dont do what I really need. I don't want to use them. I have the Lookout search that I downloaded from Microsoft but this should not cause a problem. Any ideas? Thanks. - 3. Missing graphics
In some emails (not all) for graphics I receive an empty square with an X in the upper left corner. I tried making Picture Viewer as the default viewer for jpeg. That didn't help. Any help out there?

Now you know one of the many reasons people here have posted countess times never to import from a PST. There's just no need and you avoid all kinds of troubles. -- Brian Tillman

You use Import when the file containing the data is NOT a PST. If it is a PST, just open it. You don't import .doc file into Word because that's Word's native file type. Likewise, you don't import a PST because that's Outlook's native file type. You open it in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File. -- Brian Tillman

2.Office 2000 err document name or path is not valid
When I try to open Excel or Word in Office 2000, I receive the following error message: The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions: * Check the file permissions for the document or drive. * Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document. (path\file name) I have tried a repair, reinstall, and uninstall/reinstall. Nothing seems to work and I cannot find any other solutions. I can open an existing word doc fine, but I'd like to know why this error is being generated. Can anyone offer any ideas, suggestions, etc? Thanks!

Hi guys, When I open a word document (with non-Eng file name) directly from Outlook Express, I would have following error "The document name or path is not valid".

4.Document Name or Path is not valid error
I've created some RTF files in VBA by opening up existing ones as text streams and written them back out to another text stream file. Word cannot then open up the new rtf file. I can open the file in notepad or wordpad with no problems. I have checked the original and the new one to confirm that the contents are the same. Firstly, I hear you ask why anyone would want to do such a thing. Well, we have put text place holders into the rtfs that an application we are developing uses to insert text and when we are saving the rtfs in word some of the place holders are being split across two lines and our application cannot recognise them. My macro is designed to make sure our placeholders remain on the one line. The files are being created using createtextfile. Is there another way to create a text file with an rtf extension that can be opened by word? I'm no VBA expert. I've learned via the help files. we are using Office 2003 sp-3. Thanks
