My computer partially crashed.  My local profile is corrupt.  All of my saved
emails and contacts have disappeared -- i.e. when I open Outlook there is no
infomation.  Outlook working as if I am a new user.  (I may have to reinstall
Windows and all my other programs.)

Questions -
Are my contacts saved on my hard drive but Outlook is not accessing it
because I am being treated as a new user?  
Where would I look for the file with the contacts.

I use the following:
Microsoft Outlook 2000
Windows NT Home Edition
