I have attempted to transfer Outlook files from an older PC running Windows
2000 to a new one running Windows XP Professional. I followed the
instructions provided by the MS web pages dealing with this.

However, when I tried to copy the .pst files into the relevant folder of
Outlook 2003 they were not recognized. The .pst files had an unusual image as
an icon and did not have an extension. When I tried to open them, the Browser
ws unable to find a suitable program.

Any suggestions on how to cure this would be welcome.

Thank you
