Thanks MaxN, that did the trick for me too!

Hi,
If you want to move just file(s) from Outlook folder (IMAP files, for
example) you can do next thing:
1) Close outlook
2) Move Outlook folder to, let's say, disk D:\Emails\IMAP
3) Open cmd with Run As Administrator
4)mklink /d C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outl ook
D:\Emails\IMAP\Outlook
It will create Outlook "folder" in
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\ and you will see all files
from "original" Outlook folder, but all of them are located on disk D...

Yeah, I know that. Brain slip. It's supposed to be 114° today, along with
the smoke.

As I asked DL above, do you have a pointer to instructions on the Microsoft
web site? I find links on microsoft.com that point to another web site that
points to instructions that also include modifying registry entries.
Although I'm very comfortable with modifying registry entries, I'd like to
read that in a KB or MSDN posting or something else...

Yes, I think I will have to move Documents over to the D drive. I
also realized that with the 10 different users I have set up on this
machine (standard + admin, 5 different languages), that is the best
solution all around.

Moving Documents won't relocate the Outlook files, however, since they're in
a folder parallel to Documents, not underneath Documents. You could,
however, move the entire user's profile location.
