Default to shared contacts in contact folder

's Computer Specifications

Using Office 2003 on XP Pro with Exchange 2000 server..

When opening the contacts folder, OL displays my personal contacts (which are empty), I need to click on the shared contacts which are listed in the folder but are not selected

How can I make the shared contacts the active list automatically

Thanks

Not possible. The default is always the Contacts folder in the same store as your Inbox.

This is really lousy. Is there any programmatic ways to
make it happen?
