How do I transfer outlook customised categories to a new computer
I am new to this Discussion Group
Using Outlook 2003 with XP My list of contacts is maintained on a server. I have transferred from a laptop to a desktop and have access to my contacts originally set up on the laptop. However on opening Outlook Contacts the customised categories are now not accessible from the desktop. I anticipate that they are stored in a file somewhere on the 'C' drive of the laptop. Can anybody help me find the file so I can transfer it? I have entered a lot of new categories and I really do not want to re-enter them again. I am sure this is not a new problem but have tried searching the knowledgebase to no avail.

How do I transfer outlook customised categories to a new computer
They aren't stored in a file. They are stored in the registry:

Many thanks Russ, worked first time.
I would never have thought of looking in the registry!! Regards Ron "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: They aren't stored in a file.
