How can I copy my address book/contacts from windows mail?

I have Windows Vista on both my desktop and laptop and I'm using windows mail
on both. I setup my address book/contacts on my laptop first, I have not
setup any contacts on the desktop, is there a way I can copy the same
contacts within the laptop to the desktop without having to put them in one
by one like I did on the laptop?

Copy the entire contents of the C:\Users\username\Contacts\ folder from your laptop,
then paste it into the same location on your desktop.

I don't mean to sound incompetent, but I don't get it. Can you give me step
by step instructions on how to do that? I went to the start menu, computer,
OS (C, user, username, contacts. Then I clicked on organize, select all,
copy, but I'm lost after that. You say to paste it into the same location on
the desktop, but how do I do that since I'm actually copying from the laptop,
how can I paste it in the same location on the desktop? I tried coping the
information into an email to send to the desktop, but it would not paste the
contacts.

If your two computers are not networked, you will need to use
some intermediate media, like a flash drive, that you can carry
between the two computers. Don't you have a friend or relative
who can show you how to copy files?
