Saving Your Settings

Profiles are stored in the Registry, at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles . Because of all the information stored in the profile, exporting the Registry to save your profile doesn't always work well. You can back up your profile using the Office Save My Settings Wizard, found on the Start menu at All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard.

Follow the prompts to back up all of your Office settings or to restore saved settings.

If you have Windows XP, you can use the File and Settings Transfer Wizard to copy your profile. It doesn't copy your personal folders, just the profile settings. You can't select just Outlook, so you need to use to save the settings of many applications.
