Default folders in my US version are in German?!!!

[Steve]

The default folders in my just-installed US version of
Outlook 2003 are in German, and I can't change them back
to English. Please help!

I bought my brand-new laptop a few weeks ago in the US to
bring with me (as a spare) on a brief trip to Austria.
Just for fun (big mistake?), I set the "local" location
and language to "German (Austria) when first setting up
Windows XP on the machine.

I've since gone in and changed the "local" info back to
the US, but still the German default folders persist in
Outlook.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook, but
still no good. Any solutions greatly appreciated!

Steve,

Please try starting Outlook with the /resetfoldernames switch.

Hope this helps.

Greg,

Unfortunately using the /resetfoldernames switch does not
fix it. (Nor does the /resetfolder switch.)
Eagerly awaiting any other suggestions. Thanks!
