Contacts vs. Personal Contacts

I hope someone can help me.

I just got a new computer with XP/Office 2000, and
imported my contacts into Outlook, which created a NEW
folder called "Personal Contacts" rather than just
importing the list into the already-existing "Contacts"
folder. So, now I have both.

Problem is: When I go to compose a new e-mail, and hit
the "To" button, the "Contacts" group (empty) appears
first, and the "Personal Contacts" group (which has my
addresses) is only accessible by clicking on the drop-down
box. As a result, I not only have to take an extra,
uncessary step to locate e-mail addresses, but I am unable
to utilize the abbreviation technique to find an e-mail
address.

Please let me know how to either: (a) delete
the "Contacts" group totally, (b) make my "Personal
Contacts" group the first group to see in the drop-down
box; or (c) simply input my addresses in the "Contacts
group.

Thanks in advance.

Now you see why we do not recommend importing PST files.

Copy your Contacts into your default Contacts Folder, then delete the second
folder.
