I am running Windows XP Media Edition.

I frequently need to use Outlook on one computer, and then need to use
it on another computer. I have two questions:

1. Can I copy my Profile settings (Contacts, Calender etc....), put them
on a CDRW and bring them to the other computer which is also running the
same version of Outlook?

2. If so...where do I find the file or folder with all the settings?

Thanks in advance!

You can move the actual mail etc - it';s stored in a *.pst at C:\Documents
and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
However, account information - usernames, servers etc are stored in the
registry. While you could export them, it's not recommended as the keys
contain information that may be specific to the computer.

See http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm for more information.
