Personally I think there should be no data in a profile. All the profile should be is your colour scheme, registry and desktop icons, etc. I hate to make the mistake of unzipping something big to a temp folder on my desktop and then going through the ten minute (or worse) logout and login again. Not to mention the problem of logging in on multiple computers and figuring out which copy of what is more current...

We don't use Outlook here for email at all but a few users are using it *strictly* for scheduling appointments, etc. To keep the outlook.pst file out of the profile (and off the local machine), all we do is create a folder on the users home drive, H:\Outlook, and move the outlook.pst file there. The file will alway be in the same place when you log on to other computers. When you next start Outlook it will complain that it can't find the file and ask you to point to it. Open the file from the home drive and Outlook will happily use the it from there, from then on.
