Whenever I launch Outlook, the program seems to want to find a file that no
longer exists (a photograph that used to be in a now-deleted backup folder on
my desktop). As soon as the program opens, I get the Personal Folders window
telling me that this particular file cannot be found. I click OK and the
Create/Open Personal Folders window appears, looking for that file again. I
close the window and all is well.

This is a minor annoyance, but I would like to get rid of it.

It seems like solving this problem should be simple, but I don't know where
to go to change the settings or what to do.

Check your OL Addin Manager for something that triggers this. My guess is you
previously saved a backup to the non existent folder. Open OL Backup and
change the Options there. Make a new folder for OL backups or Archives in
your My Documents folder instead of Desktop. If you use Word as your email
editor, check the File Locations in Word, Tools, Options.
