Important Registry Keys

Apparently important registry keys are under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook

Unlocking

To unlock access to Account Settings (error "This feature has been disabled by your system administrator"), change the following registry key (for Outlook 2003/2007):

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Setup\ModifyAccounts (DWORD) = 0

Move .pst to another location

Follow the simple procedure described here:

  1. Open Outlook - Configure your GMail account as detailed here. Stop Outlook.
  2. Open Control Panel → Choose Mails → Click on Data files.
  3. Select the Account name and check for the location of the PST file. Leave the window open.
  4. Open the folder containing the PST. Move the PST to the desired location.
  5. Do NOT rename the file - if you do Outlook creates a new file in the default location again.
  6. Switch to the Data Files window (as opened in Step 2) and double click on the PST file location.
  7. Outlook displays an error window, Ignore the error, and point to the new location. Close the windows.
  8. Outlook may create a new PST in the default location again, delete it, in such a case.
  9. Restart Outlook.
