Default Multiple Personal Folders and Contacts

I transferred my friends settings from his old computer to his new one for
him and Outlook seems to have gone wonky. There are 2 copies of his
Personal Folders which seem to mirror each other...as in if you delete a
message from one it's gone from both. I can't figure out how to get rid of
one of them.

The second problem is that there are 3 Contacts lists. Two of them are
empty and one (which I have selected) has his contacts in it.

Does anyone know how to get ride of the extra Pers. Folders and Contacts
entries? I couldn't find anything under help about it. This is Outlook 2003
with Service Pack 1 by the way.

Thanks in advance!

You corrupted the profile. Create a new one and configure it to use the
correct PST file.
