Thanks for the good tip! It works in Outlook 2003 as well.

Worked perfectly and easy to follow.

I have multiple drives and my OS/Apps drive is an SSD. The outlook OST’s constant connection to my remotely hosted exchange server made my computer stutter. By putting it back on a SATA 7200 drive, we’re back in business!

Thank you!
