Tricky Outlook Question

Here’s my question, thanks in advanced for the help.

I have just been assigned a project that I thought was going to be
relatively simple. I am supposed to take a pst file that contains
inbox data from 5 different users and copy it to a CD-R so that anyone
can open it anywhere at any time. Well I created the file, and that
worked just fine. I can open it on my workstation when it’s saved to
my harddrive or anywhere else on the network. The problem is that when
the file is copied to a CD and tried to open from any computer, a
workstation defined on our internal network, or any other machine, I
receive the following message:

“File access is denied. You do not have permission required to access
the file e:\xxxxx.pst”

I assume it has something to do with the security settings on the pst
file, but I don’t know what I need to change to allow it to open on any
machine. Right now access is granted to “Everyone” which is actually
not everyone but limited to anyone in our internal.xxxxx.net/Builtin,
internal.xxxxx.net/Users, internal.xxxxx.net/MyBusiness/Groups.

I would like to know how to fix this. Am I right in assuming that if I
take all security off that it will open on any machine? And if that is
correct how do I do that? Or is there a different solution to the
problem?

I don’t know if this is information that is needed but we host our own
mail and are using Microsoft Exchange 2002.

Thanks for your help.
