Address Book and Notes are both in your Personal Folders (.PST) file. With
Outlook closed on the old computer, make a copy of this file and place it in
a folder on the new computer where it will NOT OVERWRITE any existing .PST
files. Once done, open Outlook 2007 and re-connect it to this file using
'File|Open|Outlook Data File. Once this file is open, you can drag and drop
it's contents into the new Personal Folders file created when you setup
outlook on the new machine.

...
I just got a brand new computer and am trying to move my Address Book and
Notes from the old computer which runs Windows 2000 XP Professional and
Outlook 2003 to the new one which is running Windows Vista and Outlook
2007.
They are connected using a home network (Linksys.) I tried using Easy
Transfer but now can't find the information on the new computer. "My
Documents" are accessible in Word and Excel, but Address Book and Notes
did
not populate the new computer's Outlook. I would like to just use
Window's
Explorer to bring the files in but I can't access the Program files on the
old computer from the new one. I don't know, however, if that is where
the
Address Book and Note files are kept anyway. Where would I locate these
two
files on my old computer? If I could find them, I could put them out on
the
C drive and get them that way. Then, once I have them, how do I get them
into the new version of Outlook?
TIA for any help!
Mimi
