Default Marking a Contact Record as 'Private'

In OL 2003, what is the effect of Marking a Contact Record as 'Private'?

Will it be viewable if I copy a folder of contacts (with the 'Private'
record) to another PC, for others' view in Outlook on their PC?

I found no help in OL Help.

it will be visible if you copy it from your mailbox - it will not be visible
to them if you share the folder with them (using Exchange server).

if you only want to share non-private, create a view that excludes private
contacts and copy the contacts and paste into a new contacts folder -
transfer the new folder.

For contact marked "Private", what would happen if I backed up my contacts
and installed them on a new computer, would I be able to access the contacts
that had been marked as "Private"?

You will be able to see them - private only has an effect with exchange. But
unless you are using Exchange server, marking them private is pointless when
you use a pst. And if you use exchange, connect the new computer to your
exchange mailbox.
