Renaming Personal Folders in Outlook 2000

Seems easy enough, but the traditional methods don't work...

Is there a way of renaming Personal Folders in Outlook? I have 4 different PST files OPENED in my Outlook and would love a way of differentiating them since they are all called "Personal Folder."

Thank you.

IF I understand what you are after...

Disconnect them, browse to their location on the hardrive or network, rename them, and reconnect under the new name.

lawson, I tried to rename, as you suggested, but it doesn't take any keyboard input.
You must rename the individual .pst files.
I stand corrected.
Lawson's method will work. But without renaming the individual .pst files, you cannot differentiate between them outside of Outlook.

so, to recap, I need to rename the indie pst files to whatever and then I'll be able to rename using the lawson method?
