Personal folder configuration

After I added a personal folder to my folder list, I couldn't leave well
enough alone. I began looking at the file assoication list for the new office
data file that now holds my personal folder data. As I was messing around
with this, I chose to assoicate the file with Outlook. Well, Outlook can't
actually open the file since it only contains data for the program to
reference after it is running. Now when I try to disassoicate the file I'm
not finding an option to do so. I can change to assoicate with other
programs, but I can't find a way to disassociate it altogether and return it
to being just an office data file. Does anyone know how I can undo this
assoication?

Click to expand...

In windows explorer, try tools | folder options | file types, and delete the
PST entry?
Or just leave it alone - it shouldn't be hurting anything as is, I think. As
long as you don't try to double-click the file to open it.

Thanks very much. No it doesn't seem to be creating any problem as far as the
program not operating correctly, but I was just trying to figure out how to
change it back. I appreciate your help.
