Its seems not all of them are named outlook.NK2. At first I had two NK2 files: old.NK2 and new.NK2. Deleted old.NK2 and renamed new.NK2 to old.NK2. Hope that makes sense and helps?

I've tried burning a cd of the .pst file(s), but when i put it in my new computer, it doesn't allow me to paste it into the Outlook folder there. I'd rather use the new Windows Mail, Address Book and Calendar, but only if i can transfer my old data first. Help!

It should be: C:\Documents and Settings\"userfolder"\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook You'll find the nk2 file in there. Ken,

You’ve got the folder path slightly wrong. It should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\”userfolder”\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

You’ll find the nk2 file in there.
