Default Moving Contacts from old computer to new

I'm running XP Home Edition v.2002 and MS OFfice XP Small
Business v.2002 on both the old computer and new one.
How can I move the contacts from my old computer to my
new one?

Create a PST file. Copy your Contacts Folder into it.
Open that PST file on the other installation.

Where is my contacts folder located? I have tried to
find it so I can copy it. And how do you set up a PST
file?

File New Outlook Data File
Your Contacts Folder is right there in front of your nose. You cannot
possibly miss it if you have Outlook open.

I cannot open Outlook from the old computer. Is there
any way get it without going through Outlook, copy it,
then paste it into my new computer?

Certainly. Copy the PST anywhere you want on your new hard drive. Use File
Open Outlook data file... to open it. Then just copy your Contacts from it
into the Contacts Folder in your current Personal Folders File.

Not sure I understand your question. All Outlook data, including your
Contacts, is in the PST file.

Let me ask my question this way. If you could not open Outlook and needed to get a copy of your contacts, how would you get that info. In other words, where would I need to go if I was trying to find the file through "My Computer" or "Explore"?

Search for *.pst. All Outlook data is contained in one file with a PST
extension. The file is hidden on some OS.
