how can I change data file locations for html mail accounts

I have setup some HTML based (hotmail) e-mail accounts in Outlook 2003,
however, I have not been able to figure out how to move the location data
file (.pst) associated with each, and maintain the link/association to the
account folder in outlook. I specify a location for my pop3 data file, and
would like to place the html data file(s) in the same location. This
location is different than the default: /documents and settings/user/local
settings/application data/microsoft/office/
location. It appears that once the data file is created in this default
location, there is no provision given to move it and maintain the link to the
folder. If I choose to create a .pst before setting up the html mail
account, there doesn't seem to be a provision to associate the html account
with that .pst.
Anyone else had this problem?

Outlook does not provide any way to change the location for those data
files.

Thanks for the reply Sue!
I guess my next task is to submit a suggestion.
