Windows 8 and Office 2013

We are about to roll out 77 new 2 in one Dell 7350 laptops, after creating a new help powerpoint to instruct end users how to create a new pst file I noticed that the default location when you select ADD a new pst is the desktop? This is a bad default location as most end users are in the habit of doing a backup of My Documents which will no longer backup the pst on the desktop. Is there a registry setting that can be pushed out to change this to My Documents?

Thanks!!!

The default is not the Desktop folder but the "Outlook Files" subfolder within the user's Documents folder.

So it sounds like a policy or Registry modification has already been made for these computers or users.

Anyway, for instructions to set the default location see:
