Default Duplicate Contacts mess

Why don't you just remove the invalid entry from the list the address book
displays? Seems simple enough.

The pc has Office/Outlook 2003 with one user. It was originally
configured, for some reason to do with importing, with several data files.
To simplify I moved all the messages within Outlook then hid the extra
data files in Data File Management. The problem is that there are two
Contacts lists. I have it so that one pops up when the Address Book icon
is pressed but when I do Rt-Clk Add to Contacts it gets added to the other
one, which I assume is part of one of the other .pst files. When I look at
the dialogue that is supposed to display a list of Contact folders none is
displayed. To further complicate matters I managed to rename the "wrong"
Contacts to Contacts2 and now it doesn't appear in the Address Book
dropdown any more but it still appears as default in the Navigation Pane.
I am not worried that much about preserving the contents, I just want a
single Contacts list. I kind of thing that the "wrong" one is actually the
right one, and, well I am confused now and need a clear head to suggest a
straight path to righting this ship.
