No, moving it is something I would recommend. However I would really
recommend against creating subfolders of your under the C:\ root. Instead,
consider creating an Outlook folder in your My Documents folder and place
your pst-file(s) in there.

I regularly want to make a copy of my outlook.pst file and bring it to
another location. Right now the file location buried in a sub-sub
directory \Documents and Settings\[name]\local settings\application data,
which I think is the default setting. Sometimes I forget the exact
location or have to get to it in explorer to copy it to a flash drive and
them transport it.

Is there any reason I could not move it to say: C:\outlook data? Are there
any disadvantages in doing so?
