Solve : Dos File name and syntax?

Answer»

Hi Guys

I have a dead user folder in Win-XP, and I’m trying to check it under the Dos prompt.

The Path:
G:\Documents and Settings\Olle\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

I believe that Dos doesn’t accept Spaces and Long file names, so where do I find the DOS-file name?

I’m not used to DOS, and I getting the SIMPLEST syntax wrong.

If I should find my “Outlook.pst” how do I copy it to another drive?


THANKS A LOT!!!


ollep
I am unsure as of what you are trying to do but TRY using this:

"G:\Documents and Settings\Olle\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook"Thanx Carbon

I am trying to copy my E-mail file: "outlook.pst"

Windows XP has crashed, and the user folder "olle" has "access denied".

Seems LIKE I managed to find the syntax:
C:\"Documents and Settings"\Olle\"Local Settings"\"Application Data"\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

But even in the Dos Prompt I get "Access is Denied" message.

Any Ideas on how to save the file???


Thanx

Olle...

I am afraid you can't.... Windows is denying you access because the other user's stuff is protected.

You should note that " at the end of the path would SUFFICE.
