Default Contacts as Outlook Address Book

I have packaged an office2003 install including outlook to be deployed to the
PC's. I have Outlook set to automatically attach to the users inbox upon
launching (using default profile). This works fine, but when I go to address
an email and select "Show Names From", there is no selection for CONTACTS.

When I got to properties of CONTACTS and select the OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK tab
the "Name of the address book" field is correctly populated with CONTACTS,
but the check box field "show this folder as an email address book" is
unchecked and greyed out. I am not able to select this box to add CONTACTS
to the Outlook Address Book. Is this the default setting? I would guess
not. Where would it be changing that setting in my package (I used the
Installation Wizard)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
