    You will need to search for a *.PST file. Outlook saves all of your emails and address to a backup.pst file.

    However, if you were using Outlook Express instead of Outlook:
    The Address Book is a .wab and a .wab~ file located under:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yourname\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

    Emails are stored in .dbx files located under:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yourname\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{a big long group of characters}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\

    Note: "Yourname" is your login name
