Hi Phil,
When you create messages, appointments, tasks, and journal entries,
Microsoft Outlook saves the information in a data file on your computer. The
data file is called a Personal Folders file because it is saved locally with
a .pst file extension. The .pst file is the same as in previous versions and
is compatible with Outlook 2000, 98, and 97.
To see where default store and additional data files are kept on different
versions of Microsoft Windows, see the "Outlook file locations" topic. Keep
these points in mind:
a.. You can save, copy, and move a data file (other than the file used as
your default information store) to another location on your hard disk, to a
floppy disk, or to a share on the network. But remember that you must have
read/write permissions to open Personal Folders files (.pst) from a network
share.
b.. If you need to access any data file that is stored on a network share
or on another computer, close any program that might be using that file. A
data file can be accessed by only one user or program at a time.
c.. The .pst data file does not support read-only media.
d.. Only data files that you created will appear in the Outlook Data Files
dialog box (File menu, Data File Management command). Your default data
file, Outlook.pst, does not appear in the list.
For more information, go to HELP in your menu bar in OUTLOOK. Choose
Microsoft Outlook Help then type in PST then search.
I hope this helps.

of course you can move the default pst. I do it all the time.
