I have just setup outlook 2007 to show my email from my msn account. But
when I start outlook 2007 there is a personal folder that has an inbox,
outbox, sent items ect.. It also shows my MSN account as well. I want to
get rid of the Personal Folder but it is set as default and I can not get rid
of it. The "default" setting for the MSN account is grayed out and I can not
choose that for my default. How do I just see my MSN account with Outlook
2007?

I'm not sure if that is supported in Outlook 2007. If it is then you'd need
a new profile via the Mail icon in Control Panel and would need to add
*only* the MSN account to that profile.

I do not understand why I would then want to use outlook 2007 as my MSN email
reader. Why would I want to open outlook 2007 and see a "mailbox" that has
no mail in it and have to then switch over to my real account?
