Default How do I rename outlook.ost and point to it

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

Searched help but microsoft help section is referring to 2003 as their steps
are not referring to the 2007 dropdown file menu.

1. Exit Outlook.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Mail, and then click E-mail Accounts.
4. Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
5. Select the Microsoft Exchange Server account, and then click Change.
6. Clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
7. Click More Settings.
8. Click the Advanced tab.
9. Click Offline Folder File Settings.
10. Click Disable Offline Use, and then click Yes in the dialog box that
appears.
11. Click Offline Folder File Settings.
12. Click Browse, go to the location where you want to save your .ost
file, and then click Open.
13. Click OK.
14. Select the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
15. Click Next, and then click Finish.
