I would say using the IMPORT method from the new machine will copy all settings, preferences and address book etc.

Import works to a point, but dose not save all the personalization. I guess i need file names and register setting to get it all. I'm looking for a easy way.

Use Outlook's export feature and save to disk, on the new computer, use the import feature to load the information.

But in any case, Microsoft discribe standart procedures to work arround your personal data:
