Change Default Location of Outlook OST File

:!: By default the OST file is created in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook (For MS Outlook 2010 or above). This is not in a Roaming Profile or Redirected Folder.

For roaming profiles/redirected folders users, in order to use Outlook with Exchange on multiple workstations, put the OST file in an Outlook folder in Documents.
