Outlook provides no such setting. What you can do is stop clicking Save and Close and instead use FIle | Move to Folder.

How do I set my outlook settings so that my contacts are saved by defult in
the public folder in stead of constantly having to drag them from my contact
folder to the public folder I am using?
