I want to change the location of a PST file

If I open Control Panel | Mail | Show Profiles | Properties | Data Files |
Settings then the Filename field is greyed out and so so cannot be changed.

Why is the field greyed out and how do I change it?
 
If you want to move the PST, why are you renaming it?
You should never rename a PST file while Outlook is closed. You will corrupt
your profile.
You rename PST files from Outlook.
 
Are you using the Advanced... dialog box?

However, the PST filename field is greyed both in Outlook and in the
Profile.
