When I downloaded Windows XP Patch 2 it included Outlook. I installed the
patch and activated Outlook. My old Outlook Express disappeared, along with
a lot of files that I hadn't read/responded to/saved. Is Outlook Express
still somewhere in my computer system? How do I access it to review and save
some of the files that were there?
 
If you use outlook 2003,
try to import data from outlook express to outlook 2003.
from menu of oulook 2003,
file > import & export > import internet mail and addresses > Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x

No, it didn't. Outlook is not part of XP SP2.

Installing XP SP2 doesn't change Outlook Express's mail store in any way,
nor does it delete Outlook Express. It does supply a new Outlook Express
image, though. It's still in the same place it always was:
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Msimn.exe. Activating Outlook also does
not change anythng about Outlook Express.

Where it always has been.

Start Outlook Express.
