Default Display shared exchange contact folder in 2007

I know I must be missing something pretty basic here - but ...

I have a situation where all users in an office were on Office 2003. I have
them using an Exchange Shared folder for common business contacts and it is a
clickable choice in My Contacts, That is they have two icons - My Contacts
and the Shared Contacts.

The owner of the company updates his machine to Office 2007 and he cannot
get to those contacts without navigating down through the
Folders/PublicFolders link. (The only choice available appears to be adding a
new group, but that does not appear to be linkable to the public folder.)

How do I get a another Contacts list listed on the Contacts page (similar to
the way that multiple Calendars may be displayed) ?

Sue (& all),

This does not solve my particular issue.

In Full Disclosure Mode, I had set it up and it was showing properly - then
"Something Happened" and we have not been able to get the Contact List
visible. Is there a way one can "reset" the Favorites? (or perhaps better
asked, how can one troubleshoot the disappearance?)

Did you right-click the copy in PF Favs? There should be a command to add it to the Contact module.
