pointing Outlook to another PST file

On Outlook-2000 (Internet Mail Only onstallation) I wanted it to use the pst
file stored on an external USB disk. How do I point Outlook to this file
instead of the default outlook.pst sitting in the Documents and settings
folder?
If I right-click on "Personal folders" and then select "Open Personal
Folders file(PST), it adds another set of Personal folders whereas I want
to replace the default one.

Close Outlook and rename the actual pst-file in the Documents and
Settings folder and restart Outlook. Now Outlook will ask for a pst-file
- point to the pst-file on your usb disk.
