copying .pst files to cd

[edi]

i got a new computer, and i want to transfer my inbox and
sent messages files from the old computer to the new one.

however, my .pst archives do not show up in explorer or
in my cd burner "explorer" and when i located the files
through "find files" and then dragged them into the cd
burner i/o box, it cannot see them and doesn't copy them
onto the cd...

how in the world do i do this seemingly simple thing:
copying files onto a cd so i can transfer them to my new
computer and then import them into my new computer's
outlook? this is the most ridiculous thing i've ever
seen...


thanks in advance!

Use Control Panel>Folder Options>View to enable hidden files and folders.
You should then be able to locate all files whose type is ".pst". Copy
those to the CD. On the new PC, copy them to the hard drive and trun off
the Read-Only attribute. Install Outlook on the new PC and use File>Open to
open them.
