Removing contacts from Outlook

Yeah there is a way, use Outlook Express. Otherwise, absolutely not. I've tried. Outlook consideres them system folders so they can't be changed or deleted.

The Contacts folder that is created when you first start Outlook cannot be deleted, but any contacts folders created by the user can. I assume that they were created by users since you have 20 or so on each client. Just right click and go to Delete "".

After you copy the URL aspace or a %20 maybe gets inserted in the URL when you paste it into your browser. Delete any spaces or such characters from the URL for the page to be loaded.

What I want to do is get rid of the contact folder completely but I guess since it's part of the system folder, there is no way to do it. I just thought I gave it a shot. The reason for this is the owner of the company does not want anybody to have personal contacts, he wants everyone to put their contacts in the public folder along with everything else. I know, know... this sounds ridiculous but he is the boss.
