Duplicate personal folders Outlook 2002

When creating profiles in previous versions of Outlook I was used to
choosing the location of my pst file (important for backup procedures)
during setup of a mail account. 2002 creates a default pst and buries it
deep in the root dir e.g C/.. /Outlook/outlook.pst This comes up as Outlook
Today with all the usual subfolders.



If I follow the instructions for moving to another pst file it creates a
second personal folder (with a path to say,
Peter/Outlook/pstLocation/peter.pst) but the originally created personal
folder called Outlook today with path C/.. /Outlook/outlook.pst remains.



To avoid confusion of employees in my small office I need to have one
personal folder with one location for a sensibly named pst file (not
'outlook.pst') which I can copy and backup easily. How ca\n I get rid of the
default personal folder that 2002 creates please.



Help very gratefully received

Set another PST file as the default for that profile.
Then you can close the one that Outlook creates, close Outlook, then delete
it.
