Default copy contacts to another user account on same computer

From reading the information I provided, you would know that PST files are
hidden. Obviously, you will need to place this PST file in a location where
the other user account can access it. How to do that is not an Outlook
question and depends on what OS you are using and what type of user account
you created.

Hello Thanks : You said "Open outlook data file in that Profile". What
profile do you mean? Sorry. I read the three web sites you suggested. pst
file is located in Docs & settingsownerLocal settingsapplication
datamicrosoftoutlook. There is no path to it in windows explorer. It
goes
as far as c:/driveDocuments & settingsOwner.The path stops there. There
is
nolocal settingsapplication data etc.
I can open outlook and go to fileOpenOutlook data file. I can
select
& copy the pst file from there, however when I open the new user account,
I
do not have the option to "paste". so thats a dead end also. please step
by
step as I am a newbie. thanks so much

Open your Outlook data file in this profile. The file you need is your
Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts
etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
