In Outlook 2000, I would do a search for anything with *.pst extension. It will give you the location of the files.

Thanks... I found a file in C:\windows it was called Outlook.pst 177MB. I made a change in Outlook and the file time stamp changed so I guess this is the right file!

How do I know that this file includes all my calendar / contacts / and emails?
