Windows 7 registry (Outlook Categories)

My boss recently had me migrate her from a Windows XP pro desktop to a Winodows 7 laptop.

I also moved her outlook 2003 email to the Win 7 laptop as well.

Upon opening her email, she realized that her Categories list in Outlook was not there. I figured out that to move her Categores from her Outlook client on the old Win XP Desktop, I needed to export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Categories.

My question:

Because this key is in HKEY_Current_user, does that mean I have to log in with her account into the older WinXP machine? If I login with the network administrator account, do the values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER change?

Hello systechguy, welcome to the forum. :)

I personally am not familiar with registry issues.

However, I recently moved my Outlook 2007 from an XP computer to my new Windows 7 one. I used the Import/Export facility from the 'File' menu. Everything come over without a hitch.

What method did you use?
