    MS Changed pst Location in 2010


    I'm sure most of you know, but I just did a fresh install of Office 2010 without my previous install of 2007 and noticed that the pst location has changed to 'C:\Users\Name\Documents\Outlook Files\email.address@domain.com'.
    This is a very sensible move as a lot of users had no idea about the pst hidden away in 'AppData\Local\....'.
    I wonder how that will affect some backup apps, etc.

    Since most backup apps will also backup the documents folder, its not going to be a big issue. Its a GREAT change.
