I have just configured a new system for my boss. He uses Categories in
Outlook relegiously. How can I move the category list from one computer to
another? Is there an easy way to do it?

Please help.

Thanks,
Mike
 
Unfortunately, categories changed from a STRING registry value in OL 2000 to a BINARY value in OL 2003. However, the registry value is migrated during an upgrade. So, if you could upgrade the old system to 2003, then you could export HKCU\SOftware\MS\Office\11.0\Outlook\Categories\ to a .reg file and import this on the new machine.
 
Thanks for the input.

It will be easier and quicker to just have the user add the categories into
OL2k3. This seems too much trouble.
