How to allow new user's pst to be default pst?
We have a new person using a computer previously used by a different person.
We want to eliminate the previous person's old pst file and let the new person start fresh with her own pst. I created a new pst, then chose OPEN from the folder menu, navigated to the new folder, selected it, pressed ok but the old pst file information stays loaded. How do I make the new pst file the default pst? I deleted the old pst file completely but then of Outlook wouldn't open at all of course. I even uninstalled Outlook, deleted the old pst, then reinstalled Outlook as if it had never been on the machine and it again wouldn't load until I restored the old pst file. It still wouldn't find the new pst file even though that is the only one in the Outlook folder (aside from the 1kb file it always creates). Surelly there is something very simple we are not doing. Thanks for any help you can offer. -- mmman

How to allow new user's pst to be default pst?
Go to the Control Panel, load the Mail applet. If you're using Outlook
2000/2003 then click the E-mail Accounts button, then select View radio button and click Next. Then on the resulting page, Where it says Deliver new e-mails to the following location. Make the change there and you should be good. HTH MeetingMountainMan wrote: We have a new person using a computer previously used by a different person.
