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.

I wondered if we can have the .pst file on a NTFS disk (either localy or on
the network) with specific ACL's defined for the owner of the Mailbox.

Any comments...?

    I'm searching for tools to enhance outlook (local pst) security.

    - I'd like to encrypt some folders in the pst ( not all folders )
- And if it is possible I'd like to hide some folders. And show then
only if a password or key is entered.

    I'm googling for it and can't find anything that looks like this.
Does any one know any tool like this?

Thanks a lot,
Thiago lima.
