Default How do I copy my Contacts from my PC to my laptop?

When I choose "copy" or "move" the root of the flash-based PST destination
does not show up on the list anywhere.

I don't want to synch the
computers, which is what the site talks about that you gave me. Is
there a way to just copy the contacts onto a flashdisk from the PC
and then copy them onto my laptop? Thanks.


On the source PC, insert the flash disk. Start Outlook. Click
FileNewOutlook Data File. Browse to the flash disk. Give the PST a name.
Click OK. You'll now have another PST in your Folder List containing a
single folder: Deleted Items. Right-click the main Contacts folder and
choose "Copy Contacts". Select the root of the flash-based PST as the
destination. When the copy completes, close the flash PST with
right-clickClose. Close Outlook. Remove the flash disk.

On the destination PC, insert the flash disk. Open Outlook. Click
FileOpenOutlook Data File. Browse to the flash disk, select the PST and
click OK. You'll now see that PST, with the Contacts and Deleted Items
folders it contains, in the Folder List. Open that Contacts. Select the
first contact with a click, then all of them with CTRL-A. Click EditCopy
to Folder. Specify your main Contacts folder as the destination. Click OK.
When the copy completes, you'll have added all the contacts from the source
PC. Right-click the flash-based PST and choose Close. Close Outlook.
Remove the flash disk.

Does it show in the Folder List view of the Nav pane?
