This file is ‘hidden’ under Windows to protect it from being deleted inadvertly by the user. Even the most used email client, Outlook from Microsoft, will show problems with its user database (.pst files) once in a while. Scanpst.exe is the file that stands behind the functionality offered by Microsoft Inbox Repair Tool, the primary software used to analyze and fix Outlook related problems.
