Under tools, options go to the Other tab and you will find the AutoArchive option.  Chang e the location there.

Easiest way,

Just move your pst, when you launch outlook, he's gonna tell you that he doesn't find the pst and asks you where it is. Just select the correct one.

Well, if it's Microsoft Outlook 2000, go into the c:\profiles\username\data\office\outlook folder and cut it. Paste it in whichever folder you want, but remember the path. Now, right-click on the Outlook icon on your desktop and choose properties. Now, select the Microsoft Exchange server in the Services Tab and click the Properties button. Click on the Advanced Tab and click on the Offline Folder FIle Settings... button in the bottom of that window. Now click on the browse button in that window.

     ***If the button is greyed out, click on the Disable Offline Use button. Click on Yes in the next prompt. Now go back into Offline Folder File Settings and browse for the file.

Once you find it, click on OK, to go back to the Advanced tab. Enavle Offline Use should be checked at this point. Click on Apply and OK, Apply and OK, and you're all set. You may have to restart your computer, but you should always do that anyway when you make configuration changes. Good Luck!
Sorry Beerbaron, but your answer is for OST files!

The simplest way is ildc proposition, but you will loose all the layout so you need to re-arrange your toolbars and icons.
