Vista - Outlook

10-14-2006

My other computert has died ( hard drive ok ) and I want to tranfer my email
from Microsoft Outlook on that machine to Vista. I have just installed
Office XP on my Vista machine and have attached the hard drive from the
other computer ( sata drive )to it but dont know where to look for the files
or even if vista will let me move them across. Any help appreciated

The data file is in:
<drive>:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst by default. The pst file can have a
different name and/or be put it in a different location.

You will probably need to reveal hidden files to see it.
