Default Where is the contacts file stored locally on my PC

I was on a exchange server at work and have left the company I can t access
the exchange server anymore so my contacts are gone. Are they stored locally
on my PC somewhere in a file that I could inport into my new office?

Hi DD,

Are they stored locally
on my PC somewhere in a file that I could inport into my new office?


Only if the "Cache Mode" was activated, the information should be stored in
an ".ost" file

have a look on this site for further information:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp

If the "cache mode" was deactivated, the information are only on the server.

I did fing the ost file but I can open it. Is there a way to do so or to
