  Question
  Hey,

Long story short - I imported an Outlook data file into Outlook and made it
my default data file.

Outlook then did its thing for when you create a default data file,
including adding "RSS Feeds" to it, which as you know, is a "special folder".

The problem is, I already had a folder named "RSS Feeds" in this Outlook
data file, so when Outlook created its folder, it named it "RSS Feeds1".

I deleted my old "RSS Feeds" folder, and now want to rename this new "RSS
Feeds1" to just "RSS Feeds".

However, I seem to be given no such option since it's a "Special Folder". I
tried deleting it, in the hopes that Outlook would create it again under its
real name - but no such luck, again restricted since it's a "Special Folder".

Any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

Cheers,

- Alan
