After a reinstall of Office XP, Outlook cannot access the NK2 file
with contacts. In explorer settings allow viewing of operating and
hidden files, but search function cannot locate, even though it is
physically in the right folder.

Open Windows Exploerer and enter the following in the Address field:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

Click Go. The file will be there.
