Problems with Archive file location - Outlook 2007

[Thomas]

Hi all,

By default, Outllok 2007 Archive.pst file is located in
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook folder
but I want to keep it in MyDocuments

One of reasons is that I noticed Windows 7 Backup has difficulties restoring
files to C:\Users\[user]\AppData folder.

So I moved the Archive.pst file to the new, desired location, made
appropriate changes
in Control Panel/Mail (32-bit).

Everything is great until I restart my computer (relogin does not cause
problem).
After restart system adds Archive file to the original location, so then I
have two archives, but messages get archived to the wrong one.

Any ideas how to permanently move Archive to the desired location?

Thanks,

Thomas

Thank you for your answer, but I see no direct relation to my question.

The problem is NOT how to move .pst file to a new location but how to
prevent Outlook from changing the location back after some time.
