You can put your PST in any folder you wish. Some of Outlook's files MUST
be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook or %UserProfile%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

Not possible.

Anywhere you want.

Outlook 2003 doesn't store rules in this file. I believe they're in the PST
in a hidden folder.

Must be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures or whatever subfolder of
%AppData%\Microsoft that that the Signatures key specifies, but it controls
only the subfolder.

Outlook 2003 doesn't use any files with this file type. It used and NK2
file type and it must be in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook
> .oft (templates)
I think you can save an OFT anywhere you want it, but my preference is
%AppData%\Microsoft\Templates where Outlook expects them.
