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.

Your expectations are wrong. The NK2 file is a mail profile-specific file and
has always resided in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook.

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

The cache's location cannot be changed except by changing the value of the
AppData environment variable and then you'll be affecting the location of the
Roaming folder.
