PST and PAB Folder Manipulation

Recently, I was tasked to change the path of the PST and PAB paths due to a change in the drive mapping for 14000 users. I was able to do this but had to create two modules to perfrom the task. A binary to string module was created to read hex bin data out of the registry. A kix32 wrapper was used to ensure all checks are in place prior to the registry modification. Well, I had to make sure that the Messaging Subsystem was backed first prior to making any changes.



No reported issues encountered. I had a good feeling after, of after a lot of painful testing. No pain no gain.
