In Outlook 2003 in XP for me, there is no local setting file. There is the Mailbox, then the Inbox under that. The advanced option shows up for Mailbox, but does not display a file as yours does - very different.

Nice article. Another issue is the backup of this file, and with the huge size of these files one solution is bakup the PST files incrementally like EdgeSafe http://www.datamills.com mainly for organizations
