Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by this.  Do you mean that clicking
the Outlook icon opens WIndows Explorer?

Where is that icon, what are its properties (in particular, the target), and
wat does the title bar of the window say when it opens?

All mail related options are no longer there. Not even import, else I would
have imported from .pst file

What do you think a new mail profile is?  You create one under Control Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles.  it has nothing to do with your .pst file.

That’s exactly what I was refering to, that option is usually visible in
outlook , but in this case it was not active. However thro Control
Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles , did manage to create a profile, then went to
outlook express > exported to the new profile, the export process said it
finished successfully, but on opening outlook, it is empty.

Next what sir ...
