Junk Mail box moved itself

My Junk Email box moved itself as a sub folder to the Deleted Items folder.  
If I try to move it, I get an error that says this folder can't be moved.  I
am also afraid to empty the Deleted Items folder in fear that the Junk mail
box will be deleted as well.  Any suggestions?

Try starting Outlook once with the /resetfolders command switch.

With Outlook closed, click Start, then Run.  Enter:

outlook.exe /resetfolders

in the Open field.  Click OK.  Make sure you include the space before the
slash.

I tried to reset, and it didn't work.  I tried to re-create the Junk E-mail
but it doesn't have the same functionality as the original.  Any suggestions?

Are your folders in a PST or on an Exchange server?

OK, now the junk mail box has been deleted.  Is there a way to re-create it
so it works the way the original one did?  Should I just reinstall my Outlook?

And the /resetfolders command switch doesn't fix that?

Nope, it doesn't bring it back.  It has been deleted.

Have the Exchange admin restore the mainbox.
