MS Outlook 2007 store folders mixed up between different Vista user accounts

Hi

I have a strange problem with MS Outlook 2007 on Windows
Vista Ultimate. On that Windows system there are 3 user
accounts (not including built in and blocked and never
used account "Administrator"): two administrative (let's
call them "admin1" and "admin2") accounts and one limited
account ("limited1"). Order of creation was:
1. "admin1" was created and used to install MS Office 2007
(Outlook included), Outlook was run to check if it's
installed correctly, but no e-mail account, rules etc.
were configured,
2. "limited1" was created, Outlook was not used,
3. "admin2" was created, Outlook was not used,
4. different tasks unrelated to Outlook were performed
on those accounts, which probably include using
"copy my regional settings to login page" by "admin1",
5. "admin2" tried to launch Outlook, but got error message
stating that it has no access rights to pst file located
in "C:\Users\admin1\...", and after clicking "OK"
Outlook closed itself,
6. same with "limited1" (no access to file in "C:\Users\admin1\...").

It looks like for some reason "admin1" configuration of Outlook
got copied to other accounts, including full path to pst file
location, or those settings got copied to some default settings
and get used by Outlook for all users.
Do you have any suggestions how to purge those settings and
make Outlook start from scratch for those two users ("admin2"
and "limited1"), and how to prevent such situations in the
future?

If it's not the right group to post to, or if there was allready
a solution given for similar problem, then please excuse me
and point me to the right direction.
