    This isn't really anything to do with IEx or Outlook Express because I'm not using Outlook (FULL program) as my e-mail client in order to be less conspicuous to viruses. Anyhoo, my question is how do I find where Outlook saves it's files; incl. Calendars, Address Book/Contacts, and what are those file extenstions? And once I find them, how do I tell Outlook to change the directory to a partition that is other than C:\?

    Hello GPLea!

    Find one single file - Outlook.pst - it is a database which holds everything from emails to contacts.

    With Microsoft Outlook closed, move it (in Windows Explorer) to the desired location.

    Start MO, it will complain about not finding the file and ask for which to use. Direct it to the file in the new location.

    After this, MO will ask if it should use a "general file" (I don't remember the exact words) but say no and MO will close.

    The next time You open MO, it will find the file in the new location.
