updated folder shoertcu inf

[Garry Kennedy]

Hi
I had an email application on my PC (wondows 2000) called Incredimail. When
i decided not to keep it and revert to outlook 2003, i get the following
messages;

When i open outlook:

"an error occurred in the folder shortcuts file (.fav) Outlook will recreate
the default folder shortcuts"

When i click OK - i get:

"Outlook could not save the updated folder shortcut information. Check to
make sure there is sufficient disk space and that the file C:\documents and
settings\Local Settings\Application Data..." is not marked read-only. (I
assume that points to 'outlook.pst' and it is not marked read only) Another
attempt to save will be made after the next change or when you exit.

Then when i exit outlook:

"Outlook could not save the updated folder shortcut information. Check to
make sure there is sufficient disk space and that the file C:\documents and
settings\Local Settings\Application Data..." is not marked read-only. All
changes made during this session will be lost"

Can anyone help ?

Many thanks

Is there a pst-file?
How big is it?
Have you checked it for errors already with scanpst.exe?

Sounds like something has changed between the last time you used Outlook
till you removed Incredimail.

You might want to start off with a clean mail profile;
