I displayed the hidden files and the .pst file still does not show up. If I
did not have it displayed when I did the backup, would it have saved the .pst
file? I thought if I did a full back up of everything on my C drive, it
would save everything.

I have my c drive backed up on a portable hard disk. I had to reinstall
outlook on my computer. How do I restore my address book and emails from the
portable drive? I have looked for a .pst file and a .pab file on the
portable drive and cannot find it. Thanks.
