I want to export/transfer my internet email accounts from Outlook 2003 to a
new computer. I can't find an export utility. Where are the files located?

The files are stored in a .PST file located in your user folder. The
default location is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Note that these are hidden
folders, so you'd need to enable the viewing of hidden folders and items.
To do this in XP:

- Open My Computer.
- Click on Tools -> Folder Options.
- Click on the View tab.
- Check the box to "Show hidden files and folders"

Other handy things that may be present in the above location is a .PAB file
(the personal address book) and a .NK2 file (the nickname cache which allows
you to start typing letters in the To: field and it autocompletes for you).

Except the accounts, which are stored in the registry, and there is no
method within OL to export these

Good reading comprehension there DL. I was on auto-pilot and read it as
exporting email.

I got the actual emails. I'm wanting to transfer account settings
(servers/passwords/etc).
