Changing from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003

[Ebbe]

Hi

I have installed Office 2003 PRO.

When I start Outlook, it discover, that I have an Outlook Express an ask if
I want to import the accounts, contacts and mails into Outlook.
I have answered 'yes' to all.

My problem is where outlook stores the data.
I managed to change the folder in which Outlook Express stores the data bu
making changes in the registry.
Because I make backup of the folder c:\Data, I want Outlook to store
accounts, contacts and mails into c:\Data\Outlook.

How am I doing that?

Move the pst-file when Outlook is closed. Outlook will then prompt you for
the new location. You can see the location of your pst-file through File->
Data File Management
