I read in one of the threads that contacts are included
in the .pst. However I exported my personal folders
(Outlook 2000) and imported them successfully into my new
PC. It did not contain the contacts. When exporting how
do I also include my contacts. Can I also export
import "rules"?

Thanks!
 
Where to I change Outlook's default on where to look for
its .pst file?

Thanks! Read the info and it gave me an even better
idea. Rather than copy the whole .pst to my other PC,
why not share the same .pst and .rwz files for my two
PC's on my home network in a share folder (XP OS).
Assuming I only have Outlook opened on one PC at a time
there should not be any conflict. This would allow me to
do internet email if my kids are busy on the other.
Concur?

Exporting should be your last resort (now you see why).
Just copy and reuse your PST file in the new installation if you want to
preserve the most data.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
