Hi Ben,

What's that an answer to?

If it's "Where did Outlook hide my stuff?" it's not correct, at least
not for all installations. I've just been taming it on three or four
systems and on none of them did it put the PST there by default.

Go figure.

That sounds like a good possibility. Between beta and RTM, I've got a couple
copies of 2010 installed ... both look in the old location
(me\documents\outlook\outlook.pst) for the data file. One's an upgrade over
2003, so we can ignore that. The other would have been a fresh install of
RC1, but it still looks there. Did things change betw RC1 and RTM, maybe?

I've got my own way of storing stuff that's worked well for me for ten years
or more. Outlook will adapt to it or leave the building in disgrace. ;-)

And be prepared to arm-wrestle with it a bit.

Seriously, if you're accustomed to a truly well-written piece of
software, Outlook's file management is a mess.
