I'm in front of Outlook now. Here' is how I changed the "store
folder" in Outlook. Under the Tools tab at the top I chose Account
Settings. This then brings up a new window with tabs. Under the
Email tab at the botom of the window is a button that says "Change
Folder." Above the button is says "selected email account delievers
new email messages to the following location." Next to the boutton
is says "Personal Folders\Inbox in data file... " and then a
location that I designated. This is the new "Store Folder" location
I chose for my email. It does not say anything about my contacts and
where that information is stored on my harddrive. In fact, in this
window there is a tab for the Address Book and the information
pertaining to my contacts. This tab does not give me any options or
any information as to where this information is stored on my
harddrive or how it is stored. Hence, my original question as to how
do I change the location where my "Contacts" information is stored on
my harddrive?

All your Outlook data is stored in the same file. The drop-down you name
changes where ALL your folders reside because what you're doing is telling
Outlook to use another PST file to contain your default folders. You're NOT
moving anything, just redirecting Outlook to use another PST (with
completely different data). This other PST will also contain its own
COntacts, Inbox, Calendar, and so on that will have NONE of your previous
data in it. In fact, the PST must already exist and be a part of your
current mail profile in order to have any more than a single choice in that
drop-down.

The way you change where Outlook keeps its data is, with Outlook closed,
simply MOVE your PST to the Windows folder where you'd like it to reside,
then start Outlook. It will complain that it can't find your folderss and
give you a browse window where you can browse to the new location of your
PST. Selecting it and clicking OK will allow Outlook to finish opening with
the EXACT same data you had before because it's ALL kept in the same file -
not folder, file.
