    Offline was already disabled. I enabled it, then disabled it again. Still no change.

    Offline wasn't enabled in the 1st place so I enabled it, then disabled it again. Still no change.

    Tried applying the registry fix as you referred me to in the how to geek but I've got the same results & the Personal folder location is still pointing to the default location. you know, just a bit ago did a download with a download manager I've been using for a ling time now. Usually it will let me brows to a location through explorer, but this time it wouldn't let me browse just as outlook is no letting me to choose a new location for the pst files. Hmmm??? I think Maybe there might be something else going on here. I'm going to run system file checker & if that doesn't work then do a system repair. I am bald now as I have no hair left to pull out!!!:)

    Hi benjy206 & Dude. I've already tried uninstalling, reinstalling & doing repairs at least twice now with no success. Thanks for the suggestion though. As an update, I now believe that something is corrupted on my system & that this problem has nothing to do with Outlook itself. Several other apps that I use where you should be presented with an explorer window in order to select a file aren't working either. We can just close this issue out if both of you would like.

    I need to go figure out what's corrupted on the system. Thanks very much for the help from both of you.

    Have a great day!!

    Maybe you should try the sfc /scannow command? SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
