Please help Cheers Johan You may be lucky - when you deleted the account you have the choice to keep the users files or delete them. If you didn't delete them they should be still there. Open search from start/search in the search optionsselect "all Files and Folders" then "advanced" and tick "Hidden Files and Folders". In the search for files and folders named" window type in *.pst then hit enter. This will search for all pst files. If its there, simply right click and copy/paste to another location. If its not you may be able to recover it from another PC using a recovery program. You dont want to install the recovery Program in the same PC as it my over write the files. they will still be there, just not visable.	wainuitech (129)

Luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyy . :thumbs: If that didn't work -What I was going to suggest was to run system restore to before deleting the acccount, it would put it back and away you go . I tried on a workshop PC and that worked .	wainuitech (129)
