Following are the filenames on the Scan report and their characteristics:
Outlook1.nst: 33,369 KB created Jan 5, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
note that I installed Outlook 2007 only recently, also there
are
a total of eleven .nst files, all of them with 48 KB except
Outlook1.nst
Can I simply delete all of the .nst files from the directory?
filename_msn3.ost 34,480 KB created Jan 6, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
filename_msn4.ost 20,816 KB created Jan 9, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
filename_msn6.ost 24,689 KB created Jan 14, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
filename_msn8.ost 22,689 KB created Jan 15, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
filename_msn9.ost 23,825 KB created Jan 16, 2008 modified Jan 21, 2008
How do I handle/access/edit these files?
Thanks in advance . . .
