In Outlook 2000, I had an icon in the Shortcut bar for a contact folder
that's in a Public folder.

In Outlook 2003, the Shortcut bar has been replaced with the Navigation
Pane, which has buttons for the most common things at the bottom; i.e.: Mail,
Contacts, Calendar, etc.

If I click on the Contacts button, the Navigation Pane changes to show my
personal contacts and the subfolders under the Personal Contacts.

I'm wondering if theres a way to have it display the Company Contacts
folder, which is the one in the Public Folder. If there's not, is there an
easier way to navigate to it other than open the Folder Navigation button and
scroll to that folder?

Add it to Public Folders\Favorites.

Although adding it the favorites, this solution did not change the default
for the contact icon in the navigtor bar which continues to default to the
personal contact folder. Any idea on how to change the default in the
navigator bar?

That can't be changed. The public folder should now appear on that pane,
though, more easily accessible.
