I'm trying to move my outlook 2003 emails and contact information from one
Windows 2000 computer to a Windows XP system. What files should I copy to
move emails and contact to the XP system? ie WHere are the data files for
emails and contact info in Outlook 2003? Or is there a better way to do this?

Click to expand...

Making certain that you can view hidden files, do a search for files with a
..pst file extension. That file contains all of your messages, contacts, etc.
Copy that file onto the new computer, make certain that the "Read Only"
attribute is not set and then open (do not import) the .pst file that you
just copied using Outlook's Open command.
