It would be a mistake if you did. The Easy Transfer program doesn't work
well with Outlook data.
Where do I copy the Outlook backup folder to, i.e., what is the
correct path to use for copying the back up file folder so that
Outlook2002 on my new compouter will use it?
There is no "correct" path, since you can tell Outlook to use any path you
wish. There is a WRONG path, however, and that's to put the PST in the
folder Outlook would create it by default and overwrite any PST of the same
name already in that folder. See if this helps:

One thing to keep in mind: Outlook 2002 is incompatible with Windows Vista
and wiull not work correctly. At best, it will continually prompt you for
your mail credentials. There is no fix. At worst, it won't work properly
at all.
