Default Change default location of hotmail pst file in 2007

How do I do it? Closing the outlook and then moving the file is not doing it.
This used to be so simple in 2003.

Default Change default location of hotmail pst file in 2007

Moving of the pst-file for Hotmail accounts is not supported (this is not
limited to Outlook 2007).
Moving additional pst-files and for POP3 accounts is supported and behaves
in the same way as previous versions of Outlook.

Default Change default location of hotmail pst file in 2007

Any reason why they disabled the feature in 2007. It is just changing the
default location of a .pst file. Why hardcode it? Why not use a
configuration? It doesn't change the functionality of the software.

2002 kb article:: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300593
and I was using it fine on 2003.
