I'm upgrading 15 machines from Win98se to WinXPsp2. What's the best way to
keep the OL (mso-xp sbe)files, settings, etc. for each machine? Each
machine(person) uses OL a little differently. They would like to keep all
they're settings without losing any data. I believe 'exporting' only
transfers the contacts but I'm not sure. What about signatures, calendars,
email(saved, inbox, etc.)? If I can copy specific files, from where in Win98
(do I find them) then to where in WinXP (do I put them) so they will open
and work properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Making 15 people
mad is not a good thing. Brad
