Default Enable Outlook 2003 large PST size

I am consolidating several large PST files and need to use Outlook 2003's
capabilities to support PSTs as large as 15-20GB. Microsoft's documentation
says the default max size of a Unicode PST is 20GB. I hault at just over 4GB.
I look for the reg key edits and find I do not have the reg keys in either
policy or Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft of the registry.

Interestingly enough, I downloaded the group policy for Outlook 2003 and
find that the max file size is that which I am currently limited to. Any
ideas how to increase the max file size on my Laptop?

Default Enable Outlook 2003 large PST size

Is your hard drive formatted FAT32? The reason that I ask is that FAT32
limits a single file to a size of 4GB. To achieve the 20GB file size, the
hard drive has to be formatted NTFS.
