  One final help question.

  There's an "extra" Personal Folder listed in his Outlook (obviously =
remnants=20
  from an old PST file).  Outlook errors when trying to do anything with =
this=20
  file, such as doing a right click on it to select close, with the =
error that=20
  it can't find the file.  Therefore, it's stuck in the folder list.  =
This=20
  seems to now be causing his Blackberry Desktop Manager software to =
error=20
  when trying to setup synchronization.  No PST file shows in the file =
to sync=20
  with, and the Browse button in the Blackberry software is grayed out.  =
His=20
  PST file(s) are in the MS default location (../user/local=20
  settings/application data/Microsoft/outlook, but I presume since it =
can't=20
  find one of the PST files that's listed somewhere, it won't =
initialize.

  The question is, where is the information for the location of the PST =
files=20
  stored, and can it be manually edited to correct this situation?  I =
presume=20
  some is in the registry, but are there any other Outlook ini files =
that=20
  can/should/need to be edited?

  I've done a full uninstall/re-install (with re-boots in-between), but=20
  obviously stuff is stored somewhere, as this persists through a =
re-install.
