Outlook FIle Location Moved

After upgrading to Vista Ultimate my Outlook files were automatically moved
to \users\... from \Documents and Settings\... and all was well. After a few
days Outlook complained, on starting, that it couldn't find any .pst files
and I realized it was looking back in the old \Documents and Settings\...
location. I tried telling it where the .pst file was but it ontinued to
complain and seemed to be looking for a host of files in the wrong place.

The solution was to move the content of the directory back. This seems a
shame but I can't find out where Outlook keeps its path information. I'd like
to put the files in the \Users\ location but it isn't a case of just moving
them.

Any suggestions?
 
CHarles,

Thanks.

it turns out that in Vista "Documents and Settings" is changed toa symbolic
link to "Users" so somehow this was broken and it became a real subdirectory.
Moving the data back to the "Users" branch and recreating a symbolic link
with mklink did the trick.
