You need to copy the contents of this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

In particular the file outlook.NK2 is very important. Also, make
sure you put it in the same path as above if you are using Windows
XP professional. In vista, I believe you have the folder USERS
instead of Documents and Settings but you need to find this and
sort this out.

USERNAME is your username so change the obvious to obvious. This
particular folder is hidden so again you need to find out how to
unhide it .

The above instructions apply to outlook 2007.

In addition, you must rename the NK2 file to match that of your current
Outlook profile.
