Default Changing the save location for the Signatures file

The current location for Signatures to be saved is ...\Documents and
Settings\%profile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures.

How can I configure a different save location?

Don't think you can. Any particular reason that's a bad location?

Default Changing the save location for the Signatures file

Playing with roaming profiles on our network. E.U.'s here don't manage their
profiles properly and causes long log-on times and excessive network traffic.

Our workstations are all XP Pro. We've excluded the application data folder
from the profile save (on log-off) and are seeing some problems with corrupt
profiles. It would be very nice to be able to configure the save location
for certain components of Outlook (cached e-mail address list that is
suggested as you type in the "To:" field of a new message, for example. Also
the signatures that E.U.'s create.

I seem to remember that there was a reg. entry that identified the default
save location for these things but, I cannot find it again.

Any help would be most appreciated.

You can configure a folder other than "Signatures" via registry setting, but
it must be a subfolder of
%AppData%\Microsoft.
