Where are my pst files?

[Oldcarguy]

I recently upgraded from Outlook 2003 to 2007 and have been having trouble
with the program and backup so hadn't used backup for about two weeks. I
removed Outlook this morning to do a clean install and now I can't find my
pst files to re import. When I uninstalled the program did the current pst
files get deleted also? I have not reformatted I only removed Outlook 2007.

Re-import? You don't import PSTs in the first place. You just configure your
mail profile to use the existing one. In fact, if you had done the upgrade in
the usual way, Outlook would have detected your prior settings and would have
simply used them.

Uninstalling doesn't delete any data. The default location for PSTs depends
on your Windows version. They're usually in %UserProfile%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook for Windows XP and in
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook for Windows Vista. Open Windows Explorer and
copy/paste the appropriate path to the Address field, then click Go.
