To do which?
Folder List view is invoked from the Folder List icon at the bottom of the
Navigation Pane.
Did you need instructions on how to copy and paste, too?

Default Multiple contacts files

I have followed this thread and a couple of others. I have 4 Contact folders
when I go to "Address Book" & Show Names dropdown(what happens when I get
'knowledgeable friends' to help!). I've copied and consolidated so I know
which one I want to keep (though there is one I can't find). But I can't get
rid of the others. One is under the subcategory, in Folder List, of Personal
Folders and there's no "Delete" option. One I can't find. When I used the
"E-mail Accounts" change to try to delete 2 of the 4....they appear to
delete, but still show up in the dropdown list. I would LOVE to get these
merged and cleaned up - will deal with the duplicates later...

If you stated your Outlook version, I missed it. It would be nice to know.

Default Multiple contacts files

I did what I could. I'm down to 2 visible contact folders on the FOlder LIst
- the one I want to use, and another one under Personal Folders. Except for
size, they appear to be the same lists - but I can't delete the one under
Personal Folders.

However, when I go to Address Book (despite all attempts via Email Accounts
and Properties) to have only the one I want show up.....I still have 3
listed. Odd thing is, the two I don't want (one of which I'd actually like to
"Merge" - has some distribution lists I'd like to keep)......these two cannot
be found anywhere in my Folders LIst for COntacts. I don't know where they're
coming from and can't delete them, either. Can't locate properties because
it's the only place they appear. They don't show up when I go to EMail
accounts...change, etc.

ANy ideas how to continue to clean this up?
