If you have a PST on your hard drive, it's in a hidden folder. Enable
searching hidden files and folders. The path to the location for the
Hotmail folder is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

That said, if you deleted the Hotmail account from Outlook, the PST for it
may be gone. If I were in your shoes, I'd recreate the account and then use
drag-and-drop from Hotmail's Contacts folder to your main Contacts folder,
provided the Hotmail account even shows the Contacts folder. I can't verify
whether it does or not right now.
