Outlook trying to open backup.pst

[Eric H]

A couple of weeks ago, I was trying to recover a lost Outlook contact list
and opened the backup file. Now Outlook wants to open backup.pst after it
has already loaded outlook.pst everytime I open Outlook. How do I stop this?

Close the file? (In Outlook, right-click on the Backup file, then select
Close.)
