Default Permission to import .pst folder, and finding it to import.

I was importing everything in Outlook on my old PC to the new one. Somehow
the most recent 4 months of emails never arrived. I was instructed to do the
following:

On the old computer start My Computer, double click on C, Documents and
Settings, Claire, Local Settings, Application Data, Microsoft, and you will
see Outlook, right click on Outlook and pick Sharing, now share the folder as
outlook. Go to the new pc, start Computer, in the upper right is map a
network drive, pick that and browse and find the outlook share, now fire up
Outlook, under File is import, pick the PST under other, then browse to the
newly created network drive, pick the Outlook file, wait a while then pick
the newly created folder and make sure it does not have all subfolders picked
and it should bring in all the lost emails.

I moved the missing emails into a clearly named folder, but when I tried to
import this .pst folder all I see that’s been shared is four folders
contained in the shared (transferred) files: archive, inbox, other, and
outlook. When I tried to import the folder from inside Outlook I got a “file
access denied” box. I don’t know how to give myself permission to access the
file, nor how to access the single folder I set up in the folders that
contains the pruned missing emails.

Help! Those missing emails are important to have on my new PC!
