You're now talking about posts completely unrelated to the issue you are
reporting.
If you are looking for a place to rant; this is not it. Use your personal
blog for that.
MVPs are not employed by Microsoft but answer posts in their own time. If
you don't think this newsgroup is able to support you with your issue
contact Microsoft Product Support instead.

Posts tell people wacky things such as resetting EVERYTHING and losing
ALL customizations.
The corruption is Outlook. I've seen it do this after an upgrade to
Office 2003, or out the total blue.
Some MVP's have people defragging hard drives and all sorts of other
things, and then when people say they've already done that, then the
silence ensues.
One asked so many confused and clueless follow-up questions, that it
looks like the poster just gave up, when the issue was actually quite
clearly presented within the first two postings.
So, yes, all of the posts I've seen on this MAKE things WORSE, even if
by only FURTHER frustrating users. Not even ONE MVP said to try what I
just shared (and which I found by trial-and-error, not some book or
script).
The real fix? Use your MVP status to contact the bozos programming
Outlook so they can fix the many bugs that continue to breed in this
bloatware. Too bad managers and CEOs don;t know any better, which
means the rest of us suffer!!!
Thanks!
I'd love you to show me where we make things even worse.
Anyway;
The thing is that your default Calendar should ALWAYS be there. If it is
not
it means that there is a bigger corruption somewhere else. It only
presents
to in the way that your calendar isn't visible.
The steps you posted might get your default calendar back but it still
doesn't fix the corruption causing it. You are curing symptoms and not the
cause.

I've seen tons of posts with totally bewildered (contacts and calendar
issues) "MVP's" only making matters MUCH worse. Some MVP's need to
actually try some things and always keep in mind "Occam's Razor."
You're trying way too dang too hard, people!
The real answer to fixing the Calendar button if you click it and it
gives you an empty view, is to go to the "Go" menu and then select
"Folder List" and then click on "Calendar" in the list. Now,
right-click on the Calendar "folder" in the list and choose "Add to My
Calendar" and then when you click the button at the bottom of the Nav
Pane, it will actually open your calendar.
