MS Outlook to Outlook Exp

[Marie]

Got a new pc... went from Win Millenium to XP (woo-hoo!)
Need help on how to import my addr book from old
Millenium to new XP. Can't locate a file
called "outlook.pst" in new pc so I can't paste my data
there. Did the file name change in XP? How do I move my
data over? Thanks!

were you using outlook, the mail, calendar and contacts program from office,
or outlook express, the mail and news only program included with windows?

if outlook express, look for *.dbx and see tomsterdam.com for instructions
on moving the files to the new machine.

if outlook, do you have outlook installed on the new machine? if yes, the
file is hidden. use search, choosing the advanced setting to search all
hidden files and folders.
