IE 10 upgrade installed and Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 installed and with a single hard drive (partitioned as C: and D:) suffered a hard drive failure. Drive was not being backed up to a separate device (my fault). I paid a commercial data recovery outfit to try to recover files on the hard drive (both partitions). They were partially successful. She was/is interested in recovering some MS Word files, the IE Favorites, and email file(s), contacts, schedules and address book. I once knew where at least most of those files were located in a default installation and what their file names were. But I have slept several thousand times since I last had to do anything similar. Can anyone tell me the path to and file names of any of the above? I realize that in the case of the MS Word files, both the file names and their location is or can be optional and probably have a .DOCX extension. But at least the default folder path/name would probably be helpful.

I normally use Firefox instead of IE, so am not very familiar with IE.
