The default PST path is not something you set with a PRF file. Maybe you should give us more details on just what you're trying to accomplish.

Sorry, I cant speak English very good
1) Our users have PST here: C:\Documents and Settings\profilname\Local
Settings\Data aplikací\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst
2) They have roaming profil -> I need remove PST to server (I have logoff
script)
3) I need change path to PST for 300 user (\\server\%username%\outlook.pst)

Outlook provides no direct way to change the path of a pst file in an existing mail profile, only to add a .pst file. Furthermore, Microsoft does not support storing .pst files on network drives and ways that excessive network traffic and data corruption may result.

That said, to do what you want to do, you'd need a script to move the file to the network location and then hack the registry entry that holds the .pst file information. There is no way to know what key that will be in, because Outlook doesn't use a consistent key name for anything but the Exchange service and some client settings. The sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=804, which locates the registry key associated with the Outlook Address Book, will give you an idea of the kind of operation you have to perform -- looking for a value that will tell you want service the particular key is associated with.
