Default Change outlook data file path

We have changed the "My Documents" path with Folder Redirection. Several
users have their archive file (*.pst) stored in My Documents. And because the
path to the .pst file is an UNC path, the archive folder cannot be opened
automatically.
Within outlook, users have to close the "old" archive folder and then again
open the archive folder from the new location.

Is there an outlook config file where I can alter the path to the archive
file and auto-archive path, so I can change it remotely?

Regards,
Alex

Default Change outlook data file path

They're stored in registry values under this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

The values are Unicode. Be careful...
