There is no "contacts folder" as a Windows file system object. Outlook
keeps all its folders (Inbox, Outbox, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, etc.) in a
single file callthe the Personal Folders file or PST. You've found the PST,
according to your second post. Make sure you transfer it correctly. With
Outlook closed, move the PST to the drive and folder where you want it to
reside. Then start Outlook. It will complain that it can't find the
folders and present a browser window. Browse to the new location of the
file, select it, and click OK. Outlook should finish opening and you should
have everything back as it was.
