extra unwanted pst showing up in profile - cannot reomve

[jon]

Hi,

In my Outlook 2000, a personal profile's pst just appeared at the bottom
of a business profile, inside Outlook. I did not import it and have no idea
how it got there - I am the only user at this computer. Outlook will not
allow me to delete this set of folders from Control Panel/Mail or from
inside Outlook. I cannot close the profile - an error message says an object
was not found. I need the profile but cannot have it showing up in my
business profile inside Outlook. How do I remove or close it in the business
profile?
Thanks for any help. Please reply to group rather than e-mail.

Jon.

Just wanted to pass along that this technique worked with Win XP SP2 and
Outlook 2003. Only difference was that I had to go through the section of
the registry line-by-line and view the binary data to spot the reference to
the orphaned file.

thanks for the tip from the wayback machine
