How do I move .xnt file on mem stick into outlook?

[Guest]

I dragged some outlook files to my mem stick on one computer, and now want to
drag them to outlook on another computer. Whe I try to open the file on the
new destination from the outlook folder I dropped it in, the error messafe
says: "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not
access the specified folder location. Could not open the item. Try again."
Properties on the stick list the file type as Exchange Shortcut. In the new
destination outlook, the file shows type as .xnk

First, copy the .xnk file to "MyDocuments" or some other folder (not the
desktop).
Next, if you're using Outlook 2007, you have to run a special instance of
Outlook, using the "run" command in the start menu. Assuming you installed
at the default location, what you will run is (and use the quotes)
"c:\program files
microsoft office\office12\outlook.exe" /x "your xnk filename, including
complete address". See

If you're using an earlier version of Outlook, once it's on your computer, I
think you should just be able to open it.
