Default Moving Outlook 2007 to New Computer

Don't even try it. There is no reliable way to transfer this information.
Always start Outlook 2007 with a new profile that you configure from
scratch. Nothing else will work. Then you configure the new profile to use
the PST file that you copied.

If I only copy my pst file, I will not get the profile and will not get
the email setup. I would like to get these items since they will be the
same.

The pst file is all that is needed. I suggest that you put it in a folder
under Documents for easy backup. Open Outlook on the Vista machine and
then File Open Outlook data file and browse to the pst in that new
folder under Documents.

What OSes are on the computers in question? Vista's migration program
works pretty well for this

I will be moving my Outlook 2007 to a new computer and want to know
what files I need to copy to minimize my setup. I know that I need to
copy my pst file for the data but I don't know what other files should
be copied (i.e. to get profile, etc).

Would appreciate any information
