Default Outlook 2007 Data File

Is it possible to choose the drive where the Outlook files are stored when
you first install Outlook 2007. With previous versions of Outlook the pst
files are automatically stored on the C drive - with 2007 is it possible to
choose a different drive to store just the data, with the main programme
still be run from the C drive?

Default Outlook 2007 Data File

While Outlook normally stores data files on the C:\ drive, they can be moved
anywhere. Move the file, go to 'Control Panel|Mail|Data Files', click the
Personal Folders entry, click "Settings", change the path in the "Filename"
window to match the path to the moved .PST file.
