Windows hides some of your user profile folders from you. Change the
settings in Windows Explorer's Tools, Folder Options, View tab to show
hidden files and folders and remove the check from hide system files.
Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook or paste %USERPROFILE%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address bar of your browser or Windows
Explorer.
