Export Outlook profile settings

This is a great help when moving someone over to a new computer (at least if doing so manually). You can export Outlook profile settings using Regedit and import them on the new computer. You’ll have to manually move data files, though.
I know this works in Outlook 2003 and I believe it works in most other versions as well. Each profile is saved in its own key, with the profile name as the key name, under the following key:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
Export this entire key and subkeys and import them on the new computer. Then move data files over. If you can manage to make the username the same and the profile path comes out the same, you are golden. If not, then go into the settings of each profile and change the path to each data file.
