Migrating Outlook

I had a PC running Outlook Express 6 and have a new computer with Outlook 2003. I am trying to migrate all that Outlook info to the new PC. I use a POP3 account.

this is the only place I can find any outlook info
C/documents and settings/ user/ local settings/ application data/ identities/ (weired combination of numbers and letters/ microsoft/ outlook/ outlook express. There is no outlook folder at the normal directory spot for outlook.

all this files in that folder are .dbx. I put them in the outlook folder on the new PC (which I get to by the normal directory of
c/ documents and setttings/ user/ local settings/ application data/ microsoft/ outlook. But when I start up outlook on the new PC, nothing is there from the old PC. I have found online where it says to find *.pst folder but the search does not yeild any pst files (yes I have it looking in hidden folders too). What am I doing wrong? I just want to get my stuff onto the new PC.

In Outlook, click on File IMPORT....follow the prompts and and prompted, drill down to the DBX files...

You'll also probably want to import the address book off the old machine which is a .wab file.
