First you have to unhide hidden files and folders then you can do a search for "*.dbx" 
files (without the quotes).  Copy the DBX files to your flash drive and then on the 
other computer, use the import function and select "import from store folder" option 
and point to the flash drive as the location.  They should import unless they were 
changed to "read only" when copied to the flash drive.  Address book is the same 
but will have the .wab extension...
