I am changing computers from Windows 98 with Outlook 2000 to Windows XP and
Office 2003.
How do I transer all the information and file folders I've created from one
computer to the next?
 
With outlook closed, on the old PC, you copy the *.pst files
(They are hidden files, maybe, so you should search to include hidden,
though opening Outlook and checking properties of the Personal Folders
should give you the name and path of the file)

Configure Outlook on the new PC
Locate your copied pst files in the My Documents folder
Open Outlook, then File>Open>Data File (Personal Folders)......browse to the
location of your copied pst
A second set of Personal Folders will be opened, drag data from this set to
the new empty set (origonal set)
