How to transfer outlook addresses/files via USB to new computer?

[Gary Drinkwater]

I was unable to follow instructions to satisfactorily move my addresses,
settings and old files to my new computer. Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2002,
SP1. Seems like there should be simpler commands to load via USB from old
computer to new.

Any simplicity or shortcuts would be appreciated.

Thanks
Gary

What instructions are you using?

You need to move the pst to the other machine.

You can use the office save my settings wizard to move settings but unless
the computers are identical you might be better off recreating the profiles.
