Windows 7 laptop had issues with seeing "view hidden files" option. Ran restore from earlier date using Windows Restore. EU logged in to profile and Outlook 2010 personal folders missing. Is there anyway to recapture or reclaim ?

Not unless you have a backup of the laptop from just before you restored from the earlier date.

Recuva has always been good to me on helping end-users recover files that have been marked with a Delete Bit and recover them. Avoid using internet on this laptop or generating new files until you get recova to run on the laptop. Each write, potentially overwrites that outlook data that you're seeking to recover. Hope that helps!
