Default missing Outlook

Hello,

using Outlook '03 in a networked environment...

At work, I recently moved from one computer to another. After I
reconfigured Outlook on my new computer (basically just accessing the
exchange server), I noticed that I lost many of my individual
settings; e.g., my signatures, the recognition of people I've emailed
in the past (i.e., when I compose an email and start to type an
individual address, Outlook provides a list based on who I've emailed
in the past, etc.)

I'm assuming these "settings/profiles" are stored on the computer's
hard drive. Does anyone know where they are and what they might be
called?

I've found several Outlook related files on the CPU, but cannot
determine which one may store this information.

Thanks,
alex

Auto complete is stored in .NK2 file.
Take a look at: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
where %username% is your Windows login name
Look for files with NK2 extension. Note: I'm not sure if it's transferable
to other PCs.
