At the direction of Microsoft Support last summer, I moved my 6 gb personal
folders files to a new Personal Folder and renamed it. All new emails now
flow into my new Personal Folder In box.  Both the old and the new Personal
Folders have a folder named "Contacts" -- and at launch I get a dialog box
asking which Contact folder I want to use -- both are named the same.  How do
I delete the old Contact folder?  When I right click, the dlete is grayed
out.  Thanks.

Did you reset your new folder as your default? You must. Then Restart
Outlook and try to close the old.

I am running Outlok 2007.  Yes, at launch the dialog box asks me if I want
this folder as my deafult contact cfolder, I check Yes and at the next
relaunching of the program (after a reboot of the puter for example, I get
the same box asking me that again -- it's like it can't remember my previous
answer.

Set the default yourself in Files > Data File Management
If you can't, then you have a corrupt profile and must create a new one.
You description is unclear and confusing. What did actually do to create
this problem? What did you rename and how?
