Thank you VERY much for the info! Looks like this must be a common problem.

Just so I don't screw things up though.....when the info talks about a PST
having two registry keys versus only one for a ghost PST, can you tell me
exactly what I'm looking for? It seems like there are many keys for me to
search through, so i want to make sure I do this correctly.

Thanks again though. A very quick response that looks very on-target!

Hi Paul,

have a look on this site for how to delete a "ghost" PST file:
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/ghosts.htm

We developed also a freeware tool (Public Fix Profile), based on the
information of the "outlook-tips" website, but this tool is until now only
available in german language.
http://www.publicshareware.de/public-fix-profile.html

but if you like to test it, it is freeware.

Hello! I've just put together my replacement PC and installed XP Pro and
Office 2003 Pro. As my ISP is through MSN, I also added Outlook
Connector.
I wanted to retain many old emails, so I copied the an old Outlook data
file
over from my old hard drive. I obviously did something wrong though
because
now I have three identical sets of Personal Folders showing up, along with
my
MSN folders. I've tried deleting two of the Personal Folders, but to no
avail. Can anyone here help me with this? Thanks!
