How to change location of .PST files
I'm using Office 2000, (Outlook version 9.0.0.2814).
I want to move my .pst files out of my profile and into a "common area" on C, so that I can access them from different accounts.
I am logged in as the administrator, but the I can't find where you can change the location of the .pst files. The services tab is missing, and I thought that this tab was the place to be to make the necessary change.

Have you tried the slipstick link posted. It would seem to accomplish this quite easily.
My link made no reference to ES. As a matter of fact, I believe you can have a mailbox open in many places at the same time using ES. I know you can't have it open in more than one if it is a PST, though.

....from that link these 3 should work indeed....
-Use File | Exit (Exit and Log Off in Outlook 97 or Outlook 98/2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode) to quit Outlook.
-Move the file to the new location. (You can also use this technique to rename the file.)
-Restart Outlook. When you're prompted for the location of the now-missing PST file, point to the file in its new location.
