Any way to restore my contacts list after a computer crash?
 

My computer crashed. I had to reload Outlook and, of course, all of my
contacts are gone. Are these stored in a file somewhere that may still be on
my computer somewhere?

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Pardon the highjack, but is all this info found in just one file? (The file
with the Office icon)

The reason I ask, is because I have 3 folders that look alike, but have
different properties (Mailbox, Outlook, and Personal Folders). This
doesn't look right to me.

Not quite sure what you're asking, but yes, all Outlook data is stored in
one file. It has a PST extension.

Then I assume you mean files. What is their file extension?
It would not be unusual for you to have created more than one set of Outlook
Data Files. Each Outlook profile usually has a different file. To see which
you are using, just examine the properties of your root folder in Outlook.

mailbox.PAB-- Outlook. NK2-- Personal Folders.PST (It's funny--Each one
opens with "unknown application" in the properties box)

I am only using one POP account.

Can you steer me to the root folder?
