It may reduce with multiple compactions. I've seen that advice from others
whom I trust to know Outlook answers. It sure can't hurt. Try compacting
threee or four times. If this is an ANSI (Outlook 97-2002) PST, I'd be
replacing it with a Unicode PST without delay.
It's not wierd. Specific folders in a Windows profile are hidden folders
and you must enable viewing hidden files and folders in order to browse for
or search within them. A PST's default location is within one of those
hidden folders.
