Rename the default outlook folder name or change to other folder

[ggevaert]

Hi

Anyone know how I can change which calendar folder outlook thinks o
as the default? Either by renaming the current default or makin
another of my contacts folders the default

I hunted throughout the registry but cannot find where outloo
defines who/what its default folders are.

The reason for this is that I have a problem whereby my outlook 200
default Contacts folder was renamed to Spryte (don't ask) in th
distant past. Until now that has not been a problem but our ne
customer management software interacts with outlook through a
interface that first determines what the default folder is and the
connectes to it - unfortunately it crashes if it doesn't find th
default to be "contacts" (I tried creating one with that name and tha
does not work either).

Therefore, I'm looking for a way to tell outlook that the 'default
contacts folder is not Spryte but 'Contacts'.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Ps. I tried doing a search for the word 'default' in this forum but i
keeps coming back with a server timed out error

Start Outlook once with the /resetfolders command line switch.

Did that and it didn't work. I still have the default contacts folder a
contacts1.

Also, I somehow lost all my entries in calendar from today forward
including recurring ones . Would the /resetfolders o
/resetfoldernames do that (I used /resetfoldernames by accident th
first time I tried to do your suggestion

Thank Yo
