Default Does Outlook 2007 ForceOSTPath change existing paths?

I can't get outlook to point from outlook0.ost to outlook.ost

Machine is Windows 7 running Outlook 2007

These are the steps I'm taking:

Control PanelMail (32-bit)Email Accountshighlight my email
accountchangemore settingsadvancedoffline folder file settings.

I can't point the profile from here and can't find where to point it to
outlook.ost vs. outlook0.ost.

Thanks in advance, I think all of us appreciate your undying help.

Ciao
Darrell

So even if I deleted the actual OST file in the old path, the next time
Outlook was launched, it would just recreate the OST file at that old
path,
and not the new ForceOSTPath, correct?

point to wherever, or will this only effect new Outlook profiles being
setup?
