machine running Win XP/Outlook 2003 to a machine running Win
98/Outlook 2000 and give up the first machine...could someone suggest
a list of files to be sure and not forget to make copys
of?...(likewise, explorer favorites, etc...)thanks...

You must copy the pst-file from one machine to the other and connect to it
by File-> Open-> Personal Data File. In case you are working with an Outlook
2003 pst-file you must first export your pst-file to an Outlook 97-2002
compatible file;
