Default Can't close PST files

Editing the registry should only be a last resort. A new profile is better
because problems like this often indicate other problems with the old
profile.

Try this:

1. Quit Outlook
2. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
3. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings\
4. Locate the registry key that contains the old personal folders entry,
right-click the key in the right pane, and then click Delete.
5. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart Outlook.

Not without knowing how you managed to do this. "Recently an error
occurred" is completely opaque and tells us nothing. Feel free to provide
some actual information.

Recently an error occurred where I was unable to close a PST file...
when I tried it I receive "the operation failed. an object could not be
found." I can't expand the folder either. Now I am receiving this on
another folder that I can expand. I am afraid that once I open a PST I
will no longer be able to close them... does anyone know how to solve
this?
