Katie:
Near the top of your explorer search window you should see a menu for Tools.
Choose Tools/Folder Options/View.
You want to uncheck the box “Hide extensions for known file types”, then apply to all folders.
If NK2 files still are not visable, then make certain the “show hidden files and Folders” option is selected in the same Tools/Folder Options/View.
If you are in Windows7, the NK2 files are located in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

Thanks steve, i found the solution which are searching for very long time. the important update you gave is the .nk2 file will be created only after the new email try to send by the user.

I would try this utility:

It may help you recover those auto-complete contacts.
