Default Default Data File Location

The default location of my Outlook 2007 data file is of course on the C:\
drive. However, to ensure that the future bloat of my Outlook .pst files
does not cramp my boot drive, I would prefer to have all Outlook (and
indeed, all Office 2007) data files to be stored on another drive.

So how does one go about changing the default data location? BTW, I am using
Windows Vista.

Thanks

Thanks DL, however the first link below appears to work for OL2003/WinXP
only, whereas I have a OL2007/Vista installation.

Would you have anything that works specifically for the OL2007/Vista
platform, for relocating the .pst files?

Thanks
