Default removing information from custom fields for all contacts at on

I did that. Created a new pst and designated it as the default. And would
you believe.....when I open a new contact using the IPM.Contact, and go to
all fields tab......there they are again!! All the useless fields! Maybe an
Outlook exorcist could remove them!!!

At one point I had a form region that had these fields on it. I have since
removed that form region, and also removed its reference from the registry.
I searched the registry to be sure it wasn't hiding someplace else and find
didn't find it, so I'm guessing it is gone from there. It does not open
with the contact form, so I know it is gone. But its fields are still
there!!!

Well, you can have more than one .pst "opened" in Outlook at the same time.
So, you could do your new designs in the new pst, and receive and send
messages from there, and so begin to build new, updated information in the
new pst. You can still access the old contacts folder to pick up email
addresses from the existing folder. The trick there is to go in and change
the display name to be able to distinguish which folder is meant when you
have to choose one folder from another. It is a real bummer to look on the
list and see two Contacts listed, and then have to search through one list
and not find what you want, cancel, and select the other Contacts folder,
and search through that list.
