Personal Folders messed up

[cwhowell2]

I moved Outlook to a new PC but ended up moving back to the old one. I
simply copied my pst file back to the old PC. Now I have 2 sets of "Personal
Folder" listings pointing to the same files. How do I delete one of them?
Thanks

if you can't right click on one and choose close... see
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/ghosts.htm - a new profile is often the
easiest but you can try the other methods.

Hi Diane,
Thanks. That's a really neat website. I'll do my homework over there and
report back.

I tried Michal's Method which failed. Using the Registry Editor was a bit
too intimidating for me. I tried to just setup a new profile but can't
figure out how to import my old folders. When I add them, it won't let me
delete the new (empty) ones. Is there an import function?
Thanks again

file, import and export menu or see
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/profile/profile.htm to use the old pst as
the default. It's usually better to add the pst before you open outlook,
but you can try making the change now and if you have problems with
anything, make a new profile and add the pst before opening outlook.
