Password pop-up problem

[Kit]

I have a few personal folders/data files, and 1 of it is password-protected.
Back in Outlook 2003, I'm only prompted for the password if I actually
accessed the folder. Now in 2007, the pop-up comes up as soon as I start up
Outlook. How to I stop this from happening?

Is the PST in your mail profile?

Yup, its in my profile. But in my profile I've also set another folder (an
Exchange folder) as the default.

As long as the PST is in your mail profile, Outlook will open it when it
starts. There's no way around that. Prior versions of Outlook behaved that
way as well. Outlook cannot determine the folder structure without opening
the file.
