Default How to Backup Contact Categories

Does anyone know anything about backing up Outlook 2003 Contact categories?
I have a computer I have to reimage, but she uses categories in Outlook
extensively. She has a bunch of changes she's made to her Master Category
List. I did some research and found there is supposed to be a subkey in the
registry that I can back up, but for some reason, I don't find it on this
person's computer. It's supposedly at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Categories. It's
not just this one users' computer but on several that I check - if I go to
their registry and I try to locate this key, I do not find it. I even
thought it might be a permission thing so I logged on as Administrator and I
still don't find any such key. Thanks.
