I am using Outlook 2003 on a stand alone computer. Can anyone tell how to
increase the PST file size? I understand there are some registry edits that
will increase the default size.
 
The default size for a Unicode .pst file is 20GB. Do you really need more than that?
 
No registry edits. If you create a new Outlook 2003 Unicode formatted PST
file (File, New, Outlook data file), you'll end up with a PST file with
virtually no limit in size. (well, there is one, but it's over 16 GB). If
you have created an older format PST file, you have a 2 GB limit... no way
to change that.

Regardless of which version of Outlook that you use, if you are
concerned about the size of your PST file getting close to a maximum
size then it is about time to start using AutoArchive. Check Outlook's
help on it.
 
Thanks for all the replies
