The master category list is in the Windows registry on your old computer. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm

I've created a pst file from my 4000 contact data base on my portable which
has been organized into 100 categories. I want to transfer this file into my
new desktop. Already installed on my desktop is the same 4000 contact data
base but without the categories, imported from my Palm. When I import the
pst file, and allow the file to overwrite any duplicates, the categories
still do not appear. How do I get the pst file to install on the desktop
with the names organized by categories?
