copying .pst files to cd

[edi]

i got a new computer, and i want to transfer my inbox and
sent messages files from the old computer to the new one.

however, my .pst archives do not show up in explorer or
in my cd burner "explorer" and when i located the files
through "find files" and then dragged them into the cd
burner i/o box, it cannot see them and doesn't copy them
onto the cd...

how in the world do i do this seemingly simple thing:
copying files onto a cd so i can transfer them to my new
computer and then import them into my new computer's
outlook? this is the most ridiculous thing i've ever
seen...


thanks in advance!

Are you using Windows 2000 or XP? If so, go into Windows Explorer, click
Tools | Folder Options, click the View tab, and in the Advanced settings
box, make sure "Display the contents of system folders" and "Show hidden
files and folders" are selected. Can you find the .PST files in Explorer
now?
