How to recover Outlook Calendar and Contacts

In the event of a computer crash, where does Outlook keep its files for Calendar and Contacts. We are a Lotus Notes shop, however, some users have used Outlook for calendaring. I've looked for a .PST file, but no luck.

Hello mahjohn,

The default locations are
In Windows XP, PST file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder.  

In Windows Vista, PST file is located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

It is a hidden file, so you have to unhide hidden files. Open Windows Explorer folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.

But the PST can be anywhere.  After unhidden hidden files, do a Windows Search for *.pst

Hope this helps!
