Transferring Outlook to another computer

[Bill]

What files must be transferred to move outlook, all folder setups,
shortcut bar things to another computer so that it comes up just like
it was before?

It would be helpful if you posted your versions.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Did the file transfers as per the website but the files are not in the
same folders on both computers. Both have Outlook 2002. Now the second
computer has all the folders but the shortcut bar has gone back to the
default and I get an error message every time Outlook is launched
saying that a dll can't be loaded. I tried the repair option but it
tries to repair Windows XP and I have Windows 2000 on both machines.

Depending on which dll is missing then the solution could be different. If
you are missing SBCMSYNC.DLL then refer to
