Default Roaming vs Local Profile

I did. But that's really not relevant. My question remains: Is the
location of the nickname cache file settable/selectable someplace? And if
so, where?

*Why* is the cache stored in the Roaming folder? (When it previously was
not, in XP.)

So why haven't you placed the nk2 file in its default location (roaming)?

Have just installed Windows 7 with Office 2007 on new computer. Previous
computer is XP SP3 with Office 2007.

Am attempting to migrate the nickname cache from the old computer to the
new
one. It appears that OL on the new computer is looking for the .nk2 file
in:

c:\users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

I had expected it to look in:

c:\users\(user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook,

which is where the .pst file is located.

Is there a setting someplace that dictates the location of the nickname
cache, and if so, how could I change that?

Thanks.
