I think the file should be here by default: C:\Documents and Settings\user
name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

You'll probably have to turn on the visibility of hidden directories/folders
to navigate to that point

For Windows Vista the default is
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outloo k\
a.. You can also locate the file by using
Rightclick the root folder (probably Outlook Today)- Properties- button
Advanced- field Filenam

I checked the button 'show hidden files and folders' but still cannot see
Outlook.pst.

There are four files in this folder; outlook.NK2, outlook.srs, outlook.xml,
and OutlPrnt.

Once you've turned on the ability to view hidden files/folders, a simple
file search should show any *.PST files

Wrong folder. Those files are in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Notice that Vince said "...\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
