I used to use a different computer, with Outlook 2007 installed on it.
I had to remove the hard drive from that computer and now have it in
my new computer, also with Outlook 2007 installed on it. I have full
access to the entire hard drive and all its contents from the old
computer and want to do one simple thing: copy all the necessary files
over from the old hard drive to the new one so that Outlook 2007 will
have the correct accounts set up and folders in place. I just haven't
been able to find a clear solution to this.


I've already tried just moving the Outlook folder from Local Settings
\App Data\MS\Outlook & App Data\MS\Outlook over and it didn't restore
my accounts, so any help here is appreciated.


It can be done:http://damnprinter.com/index.php/145...export-profile...
or hehttp://pixma.ulmb.com/?p=233
I would think that if you can export that key it would work as well
even if the computer is not running.


I do see now that the registry section I need to edit is not human-
readable. Anyone aware of any registry editing programs that will
allow me to open something like c:\windows\system32\config\software
(where HKEY CURRENT SOFTWARE is located in the registry according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows...3.2C_and_Vista
)
