How to link PST folders in Outlook2007 without opening them every

[HS]

I recently upgraded to Office 2007.

In Outlook 2003, I had mutiple password protected PST folders connected.
Whenever I lauched Outlook 2003, I was prompted to enter password for the PST
folder I had opened during last Outlook use. This was quite convenient that I
had all my folder available in the Navigation Pane, but only opened the
folders I intended to use.

With Outlook 2007, I am prompted for the password for all PST folders in my
navigation pane everytime I open Outlook. Of course, if I delete the
connection to the PST folder, the password prompt goes away, but I really
like how Outlook 2003 handled the PST folders.

Any ideas on how to get Outlook 2007 to behave like Outlook 2003 in this
regard? I want all my PST folders to be avaialbe in the Navigation Pane, but
dont want to enter passwords to 10 folders if I dont intend to use any of
them.

I don't know of a way to change how this works. Sorry.

Microsoft altered Outlook 2007's behavior to open all PSTs. You'll have to
write to or call Microsoft and lodge a complaint because it's not a
user-selectable feature.
