When starting a new email message from Outlook 2003 and clicking the TO: button opens the Select Names dialog box. Under the "Show Names from the" pull down box the default is ACCOUNTS, which is empty, followed by BUSINESS CONTACTS (also empty) finally CONTACTS. I would like to make CONTACTS default to save the extra manual step of having to scroll down each time to get my address list to pop up. I did not have this issue in Outlook 2002.

Any suugestions on how to delete the other entries, or reverse sort, or make CONTACTS the default list appreciated.
 
The extra list items were coming from an installation of the optional Business Contact Manager. I uninstalled and everything working as expected now.
