In Outlook 2003, Stop Processing rules after Junk Email Found

Here might be an easy one, although long.

I have an install of Office 2003 that has multiple folders with a handful of rules that will examine incoming mail and redirect it. I have a few folders for newsgroups, and one for my personal account. I also share this PC with my wife, so under the Inbox I have a mail folder and she has a mail folder. In our rule set, the last two "If from account a place in folder a and stop processing more rules", the other one reads the same way for the other account. When I receive spam, the junk email rule is run first, and the message is placed in the junk email folder, however since there is not a stop processing more rules attached, it will continue to run rules and essentially move the junk mail back into one of the account folders I mentioned above. How can I get the junk mail to stop processing a message after it finds one? I was able to in Office XP, but MS removed the Junk Email field so I can't create that rule again.

Thank you,
Nathan
 
Since it has been a while I am going to bring this up to the top again.
Can anyone please help me on this?
 
The best practice in Ol2003 is leave the accounts all in the inbox and use
search folders to sort the mail by accounts - or create separate profiles.
You can't change how/when the junk rule runs in Outlook 2003.
