Another Pesky Neophyte Question

I have recently had to move my files to a desktop computer
because my laptop gave up the ghost. I still have access
to the laptop hard drive via a wireless home network,
although I can't see anything on the laptop screen.

So, I need to a.) find out where Outlook 2000 stores e-
mails and folders on my laptop, b.) copy them to the
desktop computer, and then c.) import them into Outlook
2000 on the desktop. Does this make any sense? How does
one do this crazy thing?

Thanks!! Robin

Since you didn't mention what operating system in on the laptop, I hope this
helps.

Win9x:
\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook or
\Windows\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

NT:
\WINNT\Profiles\<userid>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook or
\WINNT\Profiles\<userid>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

2K and above:
\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook or
\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Under 2K and above, the Application Data/Local Settings are hidden folders.

You can use Windows Explorer to copy the files from the old drive to the
new. Just make sure that you have full control over the files and that they
are not marked read only before using the Import/Export wizard in Outlook.
(File | Import and Export | Import from another program or file | Personal
Folders.)
