Windows 7: Where is my Office 2010 settings stored?

fatedquest · 28 Jun 2010

I have MS Office 2010 installed on my computer that's running on Windows 7.

I've justed uninstalled the 64 bit version of Office and replaced it with the 32 bit version. To my delight, the settings all all still intact.

That means that all my customizations are stored somewhere in my computer. Does anyone know where it is saved. Then I can easily backup my settings.

Look for ".pst" files on your win drive. I can't remember off the top of my head where they are. Do a file search and you will find them.

Here is where the 2007 settings were stored:
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office.
Not sure though for 2010 because I do not have it.

Thanks. I've found this folder, but there are no .pst files inside.

.pst files are your Outlook data, not Office configuration...

So which is the Office Configuration File?

Like I posted above mine are all in my documents/outlook files, I have reinstalled WIN 7 fresh and office 2010 and just dropped them back into that folder and overwrote the files there and everything was there mail, contacts, rules, accounts. Works for me
