I got Outlook to open after doing this, but it's as if it is a brand new
program. I lost 3 years of saved files. Is there a way to recover them?

Resetting the Navigation Pane does not do this. Open the Mail applet in
Control Panel and click the Show Profiles button. How many profiles do you
see? If more than one, one of them will be your old profile. Select that as
the one to open.

If you have only one, click the Data Files tab and click Add. Browse to your
old PST, select it, and click OK. The use the Set as Default button to return
Outlook to its former state.
