| Changing the default file location for OUTLOOK EXPRESS to someplace other than C:My Documents How to move your store folder It is quite easy to move your store root to a more convenient location, rather than buried in the Windows folder. First open Windows Explorer and create a folder you want OE to use for the new store, preferably on a separate local drive or partition. You cannot move the store to a network drive nor a removable drive. With the new folder created, open OE and click Tools| Options| Maintenance, then click the Store Folder button. Click the Change button and Browse to your new folder. Click OK to close each dialogue, and then close OE. When you open OE again it will automatically move the old store to the new location. Warning! Do NOT attempt to copy the store manually to the new location. This will only confuse OE and result in warnings that will confuse you. The automated move function works as expected, and is quite safe. |
