Problem opening folders

[Peter]

When I try to open a folder (eg inbox) from "Personal Folders - Outlook
Today" I get the following message.
"Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the
specified folder location."
I can access the folders, but not from "Outlook Today".

I had the same problem and got a help from Brian Tillman. I have copied a
part of his reply here. One thing though, I had to rename the registry keys
to just the folder name, no slashes or colons etc. So as an example the
reference to the inbox is simply "Inbox" (without the quotes.) Be aware that
this only works until the next time you try to customise the today page when
all the problems come back!

Try fixing the problem in the registry.
