Default Duplicate Contacts mess

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.
