Virgin pst file

I want to create a brand new pst file. To this end I
proceded as follows:

1) removed old pst from default directory
2) uninstalled / rebooted / re-installed Outlook
3) when asked, gave new pst file new name in the old
default directory

When I open my new Outlook, expect a vergin file - yet it
contains an address book which I do not want.

Why? how zo obtain a pst without any entries?

Many thanks.

Go to mail applet in control panel and make a new profile.
Step 2 was unnecessary - the information is stored in the registry which is
not deleted in an uninstall.
Step 3 only replaces the pst - it does not change the address book settings.
You can delete the old address lists using Address book's tools, options if
you don't want to create a new profile.

Many thanks indeed!

Make new profile: does it mean I have to re-input my many
email accounts - a tedious affair.

A.B. Tools: when I do this, they bounce right back - there
seems no way I can get rid of them. They follow me like
ghosts.

Appreciate your giving me your time - thanks.

Many thanks for your feedback.

Outlook 2002
When I opened what I thought was a brand-new pst, I find
my old contac folders under
OL/Tools/AB/Tools/Options /Addresses

I would not have expected any entries there.

Thanks for your help - greatly appreciated.

Henry

Are there any entries in that address list?

You may want to remove the Outlook Address Book service then add it back in. Or just start over with a new profile.

Thank you very much.

I managed to get an almost "healthy" new pst together. One
problem remains:

under OL ¦ Tools¦AB¦Tools¦Options
Show this AB first and Keep Personal Address in..

2 Contacts entries show up, one is empty and one contains
my data.
How do I get rid of the unwanted Contacts?

Many thanks!

Sue - one more problems remains: the spell-checker is
looking for a dictionary. I would like to point to my
hjs.dic but cannot find where this can be done.

Thank you so much for helping!

Check Tools | Options | Spelling to see if you can point to a custom dictionary.

The easiest solution probably is to remove the Outlook Address Book and add it back.
