Outlook Question

I did post this on the Outlook(general) group but it, as well as a
similar request by another on the config group, has remained unanswered
so it is repeated here.

Hi and thanks in advance,

I want to change the default location of my Outlook's(Office2003)
Personal Folders . Outlook Express lets you change your "Store Folders"
location but the data file
location in Outlooks Mailsetup settings doesn't let you change the
default location.
This question remains unanswered in the Outlook configuration newsgroup
so I have posted it here.

regards Bussoguy

Take a look in the Outlook 2003 administrative template file (outlk11.adm).
There is a policy that lets the administrator specify the "Default Location
for PST files".

The policy in the file looks like this...

POLICY "Default location for PST files"
KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook
PART "Default location for PST files" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME ForcePSTPath
END PART
PART " " TEXT
END PART
PART "Environment variables such as %USERPROFILE% can be used." TEXT
END PART
PART "Example: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\" TEXT
END PART
PART " Microsoft\Outlook\" TEXT
END PART
END POLICY

And I've never tested this, so I can't tell you what caveats to watch out
for.
