Smart Tech Tips

If you use microsoft outlook for your email, this might be a question you’ll be asking yourself one day. This little file is a great tool that will fix your currupt outlook database file. There are places on the internet that will charge you for something like this. Microsoft was nice enough to include it with every copy of Office 2007. Unfortunately they don’t tell you where it is.

It is located in :

c:\program files\microsoft office\office 12\scanpst.exe

The fastest way to run this in windows xp is to press ‘start’ menu and click on ‘run’ then in the dialog box type in:

c:\Program files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Scanpst.exe

If you’re using Vista, press the windows button and type the above line in the white text area of the start menu.

If this does not work for you or you are missing the Inbox Repair tool, you can download it HERE.
