MC, thanks again for your help and patience. As you correctly said, the .pst files would be there. I didn't find them earlier because although my computer is set to display all files (inc' hidden ones), the automated search avoided hidden directories, thus skipping them.
I now have the relevant .pst file (personnel folders(1).pst) in safe custody, ready for when I have finished spending the couple of days or so which it will take me to repair the rest of my system...
Take Care,
Rich
