Hi,

Is it possible to change the words "Personal Folders" that appears in the Outlook folder list when you add a pst file to your profile. At the start of each year, our MD archives the previous year's mail in a separate pst file. Now he has 3 "Personal Folders' in his Outlook Folder list, with no easy way to distinguish between them. It would be good if he could change them to a name, such as the year, that would reflect the contents of the folder. I tried to change occurrance of the words "Personal Folders" in the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version|Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook, but when I ren regedit again, the entries have reverted to "Personal Folders". Any ideas?
John.
