Howto copy only Outlook contacts/address book to another OL installation ?
 

As far as I know the contacts/address book of an Outlook installation are stored in
three files:

Personal Address Book (.pab):
drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Offline Address Books (.oab):
drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Outlook contacts nicknames (.nk2)
drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Is this true for an Outlook XP/2002 installation or are these locations only for other versions
(e.g. Express) relevant ?

If I only want to use all these contacts on a new installation is it sufficient
just to copy these files to the new Outlook installation or are there internal references/keys
in these files which are only valid together with other (e.g. *.pst) files?
