How do I remove the "Calendar" item from "Favorite Folders" in Outlook
2003.

It was never there before, but it is now. I don't know what sort of
keyboard accident caused it. But I cannot get rid of it.

Mail folders can be removed from "Favorite Folders" ... just right-click
and select "Remove from Favorite Folders".

But the Calendar cannot. There's no such item in the context menu.

Mr. Einstein,

I have no idea how your calendar managed to show up there. According to
Microsoft, only mail folders can be added to the Favorite Folders pane (see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...97841033.aspx).
You could try starting Outlook with the /resetnavpane switch. This switch
"clears and regenerates the Navigation Pane for the current profile. (see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...31101033.aspx). To do so,
open the Run dialog (Start - Run, or Windows Key+R). In the Open field,
type 'Outlook /resetnavpane' (without quotes) and press OK. When I tried
this, folders I had added to my Favorite Folders pane were no longer listed
there.

HTH,

Ron

Thanks for the idea. I tried it, and my "normal" items in the Favorite
Folders are gone ...
Inbox, Deleted Items, etc ... just as you explained. I can easily restore
those.

But the Calendar is still there!

BTW, the Contacts item is there too! It showed up today, after I posted the
original request (and before I did the /resetnavpane). It's still there
after the /resetnavpane.

Anyway, it didn't resolve the problem. Thanks for the idea anyway.

Thanks for the link to MS. The 010031101033 link had a list of all command
line switches.

One of them ... /cleanviews ... did the trick. I used that.

Calendar was still in the Favorite Folders, but Contacts was gone.

Then I tried to read an email. Outlook aborted, with the "we're sorry but
Outlook has a problem" dialog box.

Outlook restarted itself ... and now all's well. Calendar is no longer in
the Favorite Folders. Only Inbox is there. But I can easily add the others.

Thanks for the lead.

BTW ... during my searches, I found others with this same problem. I found
on-line posts dating back 3 years ... with no response, no resolution.
Lucky for me that you came along.

Dear Ronald.

I had a different problem. I had inadvertantly removed my default calendar
from the calendar view screen. I could access via Outlook today and click on
thelink or from folder view. After resettting the navpane I had the direct
link back again in the calendar view..

It is supposed to be impossible to remove the default according to MS but I
somehow managed to do this.

Did you try choosing the Folder List view and then right-clicking the
calendar, choosing Add to My Calendars?
