Outlook 2003: Is there a way to change folder names that are generated when installed?

In my previous version of Outlook 2000 I had a folder named Junk E-mail. The
new 2003 version installed it's own folder named Junk E-mail1 (the 1 because
there was already a folder in the old version with the exact name) that is
associated with filtering within OL. I have since deleted my original
folder, but cannot change the name of Junk E-mail1 to just Junk E-mail
because OL does not allow you to change this in the folder list, nor can you
even delete this folder. Wondering if there was a registry setting or some
other alternative for doing this. I used SpamBayes for filtering in my last
version, thus the reason there was already a folder with the same name set
up.

More of an anal thing than anything else. I've searched the registry for the
keyword Junk E-Mail1 with no luck.

Thanks
