<P><FONT SIZE=2>Your .pst file and Rules file are located in the same directory</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The Email file is called outlook.pst</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The Rules file is called Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings.RWZ</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You can copy the .pst from your good computer to the new one and all your</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>emails will be there.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Copying the Rules is a bit different in that you must IMPORT your rules.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>From the top line menu select Tools > Rules Wizard. Select the Options</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>button in the lower right corner of the dialog form the pops up. An Options</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>dialog form will be displayed. Press the Import Rules and you will be able</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to select the old .rwz file to import. Once you have imported the rules,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you are going to have to recheck them all...you'll see what I mean.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Well, today my NTLDR wouldn't! Or wasn't, depending on who you talked to!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I never did get it back, but after 4 hours of trying I had succeeded in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>getting a floppy to boot (I had a weird boot config as well) and then</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>succeeded in getting Office apps to run windows setup every time they</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>loaded, trashed IE and so forth and so on.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So... I went down, bought a new 120mb hard disk, and started over. I did</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this of course so that I didn't overwrite anything (else) in the process of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>getting windows working again. Installed Win2kSP. Of course no network,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>video, sound and most critically drivers for the Promise100 IDE 3/4 where my</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>old disks now reside. More hours searching for CDs and floppies for those</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>things, searching the internet (on my other computer - thank GOD for "the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>other computer").</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Of course I then spent several hours applying service packs, reloading O2K</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(only, so far), Norton utilities, NAV, and am still in the process of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>re-installing everything I can think of that I used to have. The weird</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>thing is that I have my outlook.pst, but that apparently doesn't have the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>personalized settings in it for things like rules, signature, etc.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyway, still loading stuff!</FONT>
</P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!WHAT A PITA!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My question to you kind folks, where the (*&%)%$#!@ are rules / sig and the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>like kept for Outlook?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It seems like you would just copy the entire jcolby user and be back with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>all that kind of stuff. The problem of course is that there is stuff in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>there for programs that don't exist (at least in the same place) etc.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sigh!</FONT>
