I've been searching for this one for a while. . .

Typically, the file "Outlook.PST" is located in C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. While creating our software images, the default location is changed to the same folder under the admin profile.

Is there anyway to change this back so that when a user logs in and launches Outlook for the first time, the .PST file will be created in the folder under their profile, rather than in the admin profile?

I've searched the Registry for things such as "Outlook.pst" with no luck in finding it. Is this info possibly not stored in the Registry?

BTW- This pertains to WinXP OS, with Office XP/2003 installed. . .
