Upgrading to Windows 7 and lost my shortcuts and Outlook files

Upgrading to Windows 7 Premium to find my deleted and Outlook shortcuts wanting to be "configured".  Dude... where's my stuff?  I thought the upgrade would not "retarded" my files or I would not have paid for the upgrade.  Help, please.

It's what you're looking for the folder Windows.old XP ROCKS mentioned would have a file Outlook.pst.

Where the Outlook.pst file?
