How do I configure Public Folders to be default contact folders?

[Guest]

Our small office utilizes Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003. When my boss saves
contacts by clicking on the name of the email addressee, Outlook
automatically saves the specified address in his personal folder, and not in
the public shared folder. How can I reconfigure Outlook to save email
addresses automatically in a shared folder, and not in the personal folders?

Hi Robin,

have a look on this site for this settings. The headers are different to the
question that you asked, but if you read the information till the end you
will find the setting that you search for:

The easiest way is in Outlook under "Tools/Addressbook/Tools/Options" and
here you can change the "default" Outlook Addressbook.

You can't make a public contacts folder the default.
