Answer:

• Download and install this tool ---> http://www.dfwsecure.com/unlock.exe
• Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application\Data\Microsoft\Outlook
• Right click on extend.dat file (and any other file that is refusing to rename including outlook.ost ) choose unlocker
• Choose Rename
• give it a different name like extend.datOLD
• hit OK
• It may say "cannot rename file, do you want unlocker to rename it at next reboot?"
• say yes
• restart computer.
• Open Outlook

Now old extend.dat and outlook.ost should be renamed. Outlook should open up without errors and it will create fresh copies of extend.dat and outlook.ost
