I have been trying to restore my Outlook settings after reformatting my hard
drive. I copied all the settings onto another computer using the transfer
files wizard and that copied all the Outlook settings.

On the computer I backed up to Outlook.pst was in the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Microsoft\Outlook\Microsoft\Outlook

(I do not know why so many folders were created it was not something I did)

The following files were in the following location:

outcmd.dat, Outlook.fav, Outlook, Outlook.srs, OutlPrnt, VIEWS, Work.fav,
Work.srs,

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

This setup works and included all my e-mail accounts.

So I copied Outlook.pst from

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Microsoft\Outlook\Microsoft\Outlook

on my old computer to:

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

on my new computer.

I also copied

outcmd.dat, Outlook.fav, Outlook, Outlook.srs, OutlPrnt, VIEWS, Work.fav,
Work.srs

from

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

on my old computer to

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

on my new computer.

Everything seems to have copied apart from the mail accounts and because I
have used filters to sort out my e-mails into folders if I recreate the
accounts then it starts downloading all the old e-mails that I already have
sorted into sub-folders.

Another thing that happens is that when I loaded Outlook another file was
created in

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

called Outlook~1.srs

Can anyone please tell me what is happening and how to make sure that my
e-mail accounts are transferred as well as everything else?

Thanks
