You are wrong on this. Doing it the way describe will in most cases 99.9% of the time corrupt the pst files in question. The correct route is the way Russ described it

Wrong. Never save a PST file to the default directory because the odds are
you will overwrite another and corrupt the Outlook profile. Moreover, saving
it there will not connect it to Outlook properly.
Save it anywhere else, then use File Open in Outlook to connect to it.

Install Outlook on the new computer and save the pst files to the same
folder
as where you got them on the old computer.

Hi,
I am trying to transfer my Outlook pst files to a new computer. The new
computer is XP. I have two pst files, "regular" and archive but don't
know
where to save them on the new PC.
TIA
