Default Outlook 2003 is showing 2 pst folders

Hi

I'm using Outlook 2003 on my laptop (OS XP) and I have the old style pst
folder and not the outlook data file. Recently I noticed that I have two
folders called Personal Folders File. The main one is at the top and the
second one (with an identical copy of all the folders) is underneath. After
much head scratching I realized that the second one is usually my archive
folders. I thought I could go into Properties and rename the file but I can't
modify anything. Also, when I navigate to the C: drive where the personal
folders files are stored, only one is showing. And I do have 'show all hidden
files' selected.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Outlook from the original CD but the
duplicate personal folders files are still present. Does anyone know what's
happend and how I can get it back to factory settings?

By the way, this all started because I was planning on creating a new style
personal data file but even though I delete the old ones, they still appear
in the left-hand pane when I open Outlook.

Thanks
