move contacts to new computer??

[Ahmed A.Moniem]

I want to transfer all the outlook contacts from one machine to the other.
Which would be the main file to be copied and its location?

Thanx

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:
