Contacts Folder is in the Wrong Place

T

than

Somehow, my default contacts folder is a subfolder under my Calendar folder.
However, it will not let me move it to be on the same level as the Calendar,
Inbox, etc. folders. How can I move it back where it belongs?

There is no "Contact file". All Outlook (contacts, appintments, mail
messages, etc.) are kept in the same file, called a Personal Folders File,
with a file type of ".pst". Although a PST is allowed to be anywhere on
your hard drive that you have permission to access, the default location for
the PST on a Windows 2000 or XP system is
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, which is a
hidden folder. On Windows 98 (and I think on ME), the default location is
%WinDir%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
