I have a laptop that has offline files enabled. The physical .pst file is on Desktop A. Now I only have my laptop which has the offline .pst file and I want to make a copy or make it a normal file and have it reside in Desktop B.

Will it be possible, if yes, how does one go about it.

Is this, I do not want to say is this your pst file but there is not easy way around it. I have had people copy others pst and pab files to read or use them for thier own advancement. Microsoft has detailed amswers on how to do this but you need theusers login and password. Sorry if I sound over protective but I had people at the last place I worked who wanted exactly the same thing. I showed them a easy way to do this and the people they used were ether fired or put on example because they emailed a friend or sent a pic of thier kids.

This is my own home network and my desktop A is in Las Vegas and I am here in the Bay Area. Nothing related to work...this is just for personal use...

All you have to do is copy the PST to the other computer and hook up to it by going to Tools->Services, add a Personal Folder and browse to the location. It IS a 'normal' file and can be treated as such.

Yes, but where is this cached/virtual/offline .pst file exist in my laptop? Under what directory is it on?
