Turn on searching hidden and system files and then search for the .pst file.
It depends on the type of installation you have but it is normally found
under C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

..PST files are hidden under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you need to set
Folder Options to make hidden/system files visible for the search tool to
find them. On my XP Pro machine, the path is:

C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
