Outlook express, figure it out??!? good luck?!? its not rocket science!
RTFM!
Tools -> Options -> Maintenance -> store folder.
Change it to another partition and your done.
Likewise, I haven't played a game in the last 5 years that doesn't either
put your saves into its game dir or the my docs, redirect your my docs and
your done.
Like I said, easy as... trivial even!
HTH
