Duplicated Personal Folders

[Guest]

Outlook 2003 "personal folders" have duplicated. At the bottom of the first
set, there are TWO other identical sets of folders. When I add/delete from
one set , it affects the other two. How can I delete the two duplicated
sets?

I can not afford to loose data from the main set.

If you cannot R click and close the non-default PST, you have a corrupt
profile.
Create a new one.

Russ,

I will have to re-create 6 e-mail accounts if I delete my profile and
create a new one. Is there no other option?

I'm using OL 2003 IMO on Win XP Pro.

Thanks,

Vaughn

You can try to find and delete the registry entry for the duplicate PST.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<your profile name>
Look in the tree under that point (it should be full of keys with long
hexidecimal value names) and look for a section that references the PST file
you want off of your folder tree. Export that section (for safety) and then
delete it.
