I would like to have my Outlook Express program on
my External
Drive. Like everything, or at least the "Local
Folders" and Address
Book so when I use it everything would be store on
this drive.
This way it would be more secure from people who
know how
to explore the hard drive. Security
issue..................Thanks !

There is no supported way to do this.

The OE program folder *must* be located on the boot drive.

Locating your store and Address Book on a network or non-local fixed drive
is not recommended or supported. See

Bubey is not talking about a network drive. And what (exactly) is a
"non-local fixed drive" and why would it be a problem while a "local"
(whatever that is) one wouldn't?

non-local = other computer or server
local = Bubey's computer

non-local = other computer or server
local = Bubey's computer

So Bubey is using a (extra) local (fixed) drive.

So why didn't PA Bear answer the question and why didn't you? (Like
you for example did in the December 23 thread "utilising Two hard
drives" (your ).

I.e. why mention problems which do no apply and why not answer the
question?

No, Bubey is using an External drive. I guess I should have included
internal in my definition of local.
