Outlook Restore

Outlook Restore

Recently one of my friend's Windows XP's hard drive crashed. I have the drive hooked up through a SATA to USB cable right now and I'm trying to find the Outlook or Outlook Express data file. I'm not sure which client she used. I checked the Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook and nothing was there. Is there any way to find out the default path to the .pst file or is there a tool to find a .pst file? I tried windows search for *.pst and it only found a backup.pst file in a public folder that was extremely old. Does anyone have any ideas?

"Did you tell it to search hidden and system files?

If it is a POP3/IMAP then it will be using a PST.

The only other storage format for Outlook is OST when caching with Exchange, in which case you would have no need to restore"
