Sharing all Outlook 2007 data

[Doc]

I've just recently installed Office 2K7 on a friend's machine, and want to
set up two user accounts on the same machine to share contacts and emails.

With previous versions I could search the registry for outlook.pst and edit
a key, or with Outlook express I could move the mailbox with mail to the
location of the second account.

Where does Outlook 2007 store this information, or is there any easy
procedure to get two user accounts pointing at the same mail store?

Outlook 2007 keeps the data in the same place as prior versions of Outlook,
but its location depends on the version of Windows. Windows XP, for
example, uses a different location than Vista.

Thanks, this looks helpful, better than the suggestion that I delete or
move the empty store on the second account and see if outlook asks me where
its gone.

I don't see anything wrong with that suggestion. IN fact, that's a
recommended way of moving a PST. It's not good practice to drop a PST into
its default location unless you KNOW you're not going to overwrite any PST
of the same name.
