change name of "contacts" address book
Is there a way to change the name of the "Contacts" address book. I view
three VIP mailboxes besides my own and would like to rename all the 'contacts" address books so as to not get confused of whose is whose. Please advise. Many thanks for any guidance.

You can't change the name of the default Contacts folders in a mailbox, but you can make additonal contacts folders with whatever name you please. -- Brian Tillman

change name of "contacts" address book
You may need to repeat the steps below for each address book, step 2 providing the opportunity to change the display name. You will need to be able to create -- at least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's mailbox as the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in under your own Windows account, not the other user's:
1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile. 2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts. 3. Close Outlook. 4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* (i.e. the one from Step 1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own. 5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox. 6. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Cheri" wrote in message ...
