What happens when you try to setup the old PST file?

did you get an answer for this? I have a problem where my default PST file has changed and along with it my old contact list! How do you change your default PST file so that I can get my contact list back

thank

You can open any .pst file with the File | Open | Outlook Data File command.
Then make that the default. The details depend on the version of Outlook.
