    Yes. doesn't Windows 2K and XP Pro use NTFS by default anyway? And on
    both these OS's Outlook defaults to placing the pst file in Documents
    and Settings\username\Local Data\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
    which has permissions for that user set on it as well.

    My users access their PST files off of a networked mounted drive
    which they have special permissions (read write change and create but
    are not allowed to change permissions) to.
