Ok, I've read the posted discussion, and it's almost what I need to know, but
just a tad different. I have Windows 2000Pro and Microsoft Office )
installed at home and exactly the same software installed at work (except
that I'm not on a network). I had the duplicate personal files problem at
work, and my administrator deleted the files by going to FILES on the Menu,
and choosing Data File Management. it contained a list of all 3 of my
personal files, and he just removed the two I didn't use -- easy! Now I get
on my computer at home, go to Files, and there is no Data File Management
choice. How come? Is there an administrative level I need to set? I am not
a techie on this, so please be very simple. All I did when I installed 2000
was to tell Outlook where my pst files were...and boom! 3 copies.
 
If you're in Internet Mail Only mode at home (Help | About will tell you),
it's going to be a little trickier. Try the method described at
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/oltrble.htm#disconnectpst. If you copied
one .PST file over another, that may be what caused the duplicates.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a CLUE as to how to restart outlook using ANY
parameter, including the ones recommended on thie link you recommended? can
you give this poor 'puter-illiterate person more detailed instructions?
 
Unfortunately I can't give you any better instructions than the linked
articles give you...if you are not comfortable editing the Windows Registry
then you should not try it. Maybe you have a friend or family member who is
more familiar with the Registry and can make these changes for you. Good
luck.
