Outlook pst files linked.

[PJH]

Have built a new PC using Windows Vista and Office 2003. By default, the
..pst file is located under the "users" folder. I was attempting to change
this to a C:\MyEmail directory.

However, while doing this, I now have 2 email connections in the "All Mail
Folders" area but both connected to the same .pst file. Both are called the
same name and the folders and emails are identical. When I select either
email connection, the Close "Peter" option is not enabled. The email
functionality still works correctly.

I have removed Outlook from the PC & reinstalled but when reinstalled, it
again links twice to the same .pst file. If I move the .pst file to another
location, when reinstalling I get a message that the .pst file doesn't
exist.

Is there a way to repair my system or how can I remove Outlook so that there
is no remnants of Outlook being installed.

Thanks

As we post here daily, you never move or manipulate a PST file in Windows
Explorer unless you have first disconnected it from your Outlook profile.
What you did will corrupt your Outlook profile every time.
Create a new Outlook profile and connect it to the PST file in its current
location:

Thanks Russ

Your advice did the trick plus I learnt a little more about the product.
