Default Drafts folder renamed by Inbox Repair Tool


I ran the inbox repair tool and my Drafts folder is now named "Recovered
Folder 81C2" and it is in the "Lost & Found" folder. How can I rename this
folder back to "Drafts" and move it under "Personal Folders"? Outlook 2003
won't let me do either of these. My saved emails are still going to this
Recoverd Folder. The options still say that saved email will go to the Drafts
folder, but they don't, they go to the "Recovered Folder 81C2". I can create
a new Drafts folder but my saved emails still won't automatically go in it.
How can I fix this?

I've read I can reset my folders to their original deaults, but I'm wondering
if this will change the other folders I've created. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Smith

That worked like a charm and it did not delete any of my other folders.
