Default Outlook 2003 Calendar from XP to Vista

Another question ... I made the decision to start fresh with my new Vista
system, rather than have all my old email hanging around.

I successfully copied my Contacts from my old XP system by exporting to a
contacts.pst file, then importing that file on the Vista system.

Is it possible to also get all my Calendar items moved over in a similar
fashion?

THANKS!

Can you open your original PST file and copy the items out of it?

It would have been a whole lot simpler to have copied your old pst (with
outlook closed) to your Documents folder on Vista. Then within OL opening
that pst, and drag & drop whatever required from old to new

Go back to the original PPC and copy the original PST. It contains all your
Outlook date: e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, the works. Do not use
export/import.

Do I remove what's there now (Contacts, my email settings etc.) - and if so,
how?
