How do I retrieve contact details from an archive file?

[Guest]

I had my laptop stolen several months ago. Luckily (I thought) I had saved
an archive file of the contacts on a memory stick.

I have tried various approaches but cannot work out how to get the contacts
in the Archive file back into Outlook.

Can you help?

Copy the .pst file to your hard drive, remove the read-only check from its
properties and then use File->open->Outlook Data File. Drag and drop your
date from the saved file to your default one/

Still doesn't work Milly. I get an 'Open with' option (no 'Open' option) and
..pst/Archive files are not on the 'Open with' list. I've tried linking to
the website but couldn't see the information I needed to tell me how I open
the file.

Any other suggestions?
