System Restore is not designed to restore personal data.

Did you delete the profiles using the proper procedure in User
Accounts?
Or did you simply delete the profile?
If the second, there will be no message about saving data to another
location.

See if something here can help:

Computers->Properties->Advanced->User Profiles->Settings. This I
believe has deleted a folder called 'default' in Documents and
Settings (which has folders viz. application data, favorites etc).
That in turn has deleted the Outlook.pst file which has all the
details of my MS Outlook.
