Default Duplicate Account in Contacts: possible solution?

I have just noticed that if I right click "Contacts in Personal
Folders", there is an option to Delete it or to Remove it from "My
Contacts". Could you tell me the difference between these two options?


Chosing Delete should attempt to delete the folder. Chosing Remove
won't attempt to delete the folder but will remove it from the Nav Pane
"My Contacts".section.

If you choose the Folder List vew of the Nav Pane, how many folder sets
do you see?


OK. I may have found the answer. I had copies of outlook.pst in the
application data folder for Outlook that I called "copy of outlook.pst",
"copy 2 of outlook.pst" & 3rd. I thought Outlook only looked at the one
named Outlook.pst.

I deleted the copies & reopened Outlook. It complained that it couldn't
find the server for the copies & then went back to normal.

So I guess if I want copies of outlook.pst (in case I screw something up), I
should rename the extension. Is that right?
