Cntl-alt-del to get a task list, and make sure the Outlook task is terminated.
Go to c:\documents and settings\OLDusername\local settings\microsoft\outlook
Copy pst file to corresponding folder for NEWusername
Log on under new username
Open Outlook - select File/Data File Management
Select Add, select new .pst file
Close dialog, go to Tools/Email Accounts
Select the new file as your default data file
That should do it.

Although this appeared to work, the files I was looking for are still not visible. I am afraid that may have accidently deleted or something as they do not seem to be here
vichic, you should be able to find the PST file by doing a Windows Search for *.pst Make sure to look in hidden folders. Also, you should hide hidden files and folders.
