Outlook Owner

[Michael]

Can anyone help me, I'm having trouble removing a name in
the task part of my outlook application. I'm trying to
remove a friends name and replace it with my own. When I
go to put in a new task his name appears as the owner. I
don't know how his name got there and when I try to
remove it, I get this message "You must be in a public
folder to change the Qwner field of a task. The original
owner name will be restore."
If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Is this a task folder in public folders or in your mailbox?

Are you using Exchange Server? If not, I believe the owner name comes from
the name attached to the default e-mail account for the Outlook profile
you're using at the time, and as the error message says, I don't think
there's any other way to change the Owner field for a task that's already
been created.
