How do you transfer the master category list to another computer? Or, what
file(s) hold the master Category list and how do you print the list?

That information is stored in the registry, not your Contacts:

hi
hope im not explaining something you already know but what i do ( i look
after about 30-40 PCs on a network) is make the master category list on my
(client) pc (in outlook), then export that reg key to the server. Email
everyone with a link to the reg key on the server, with an explanitory note.
Then it only takes them about 10sec and 4 clicks to update thier master cat
list. Job done. I ask them to reply when they have sucessfully done it.
If after a few days x number of people havent replied i send them a reminder
and a offer of help if they are stuck. i do many admin tasks like this as its
good to get people involved in thier PC's, they like to learn new things and
are generally pleased they managed it.
Hope that helped at all
Simon
