Default Locaton of storage files

I use Windows XP Pro with Office 2007, or at least I try to. Recently I had
to set up an alternate profile on the PC, including Outlook. I soon
discovered that I did not know where Outlook stores calendar and contacts and
notes. I thought they would all be under
My Profile\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
But now I don't think they are stored in the same file. Does anyone know
where the information is stored for calendar and notes and contacts?

Default Locaton of storage files

The outlook data file, ie *.pst, by default named outlook.pst, which is a
hidden file

That is what I thought, but when I created a new profile and copied the .pst
file from the old proile to the new one, only the mail was accessible. I had
to export from the old profile and import to the new profile. Thhis caused
me to doubt the .pst being the only data file.

In a new profile you add a data file, by browsing to the location of the old
data file.
