A simple USB drive can help you synchronize Microsoft Outlook between two computers.
Microsoft Outlook allows you to check email, keep information about your clients or friends, and make your schedules. These features make life easier for many people, allowing the integration of different programs. Unfortunately, you cannot easily transfer some files from Outlook to other computers. Instead, you need to find a way to synchronize the two computers. Microsoft does not provide a synchronization process, but it is possible to do this without too much trouble.
Instructions
1. Create a new briefcase on your desktop. To create a new briefcase, go to the desktop and right click. This will open a list of options. Go to "New" and select "Briefcase."
2. Copy your Outlook folder into the briefcase you created. In Windows 2000 and XP, your Outlook file can be found at "C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook." Vista and Windows 7 uses "C:\Users\username\AppData\Microsoft\Outlook." The username here is the name of your account that you log into.
3. Insert the USB drive into the first computer's USB port.
4. Place the briefcase you created onto the USB drive. Remove the USB drive from the computer.
5. Place the USB drive into the USB port of the second computer. Place the briefcase from the USB drive onto the desktop of your second computer.
6. Go to the same spot in your drive as listed in Step 2. Delete the Outlook folder.
7. Place the Outlook folder from the briefcase into the directory.
