OL 2000 .pst file moving to new computer

[Ron Ruff]

I am trying to export a OL 2000 .pst file running under
Windows XP with SP 1. I want to export or save the file
so I can open it up on my other computer using Outlook
2000 under Windows 98. When opening the outlook.pst file
on the computer with Windows 98 I received the following
message - "File access is denied; You do not have the
permission required to access the file C:\WINDOWS\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
outlook.pst." I had exported that outlook.pst file to a
CD and then copied it into
WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
and then launched Outlook and chose the outlook.pst
file.

How can I get this to work so I can transfer my outlook
files to the second computer?

This is happening because the PST file has the read-only attribute turned
on, as a result of being copied from read-only media (the CD-ROM). Navigate
to the file on your C drive, right click on it, select "Properties", uncheck
the read-only checkbox, and click OK.
