I have a laptop that had Vista Ultimate installed on the C drive and

need to recover the mailbox from Outlook 2007. I cannot locate where
Outlook keeps the Mailbox files. I see it talks about PST files but
even on my own system I cannot locate a .PST file using the same
setups.

There's no one place that Outlook uses to store PSTs. It will create them
wherever you tell it to create them. The default location, however, is
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook. Out that path into Windows Explorer and
click Go.

I have looked inside c:\users\*username*\*.pst and found no PST files
at all. I have searched the C and D drives for *.pst and found
nothing.

Unless you configure Windows to show those hidden folders, you'll never see
them and search won't find them.
