Outlook 2007: weird folder name values

I am using Outlook 2007. When we upgraded with SP2. We get weard values in the 'Go to Folder' window under the <Folder name> dropdown control.
- Upgrade to SP2
- Launch outlook 2007
- Go | Folder <Folder name>
Click around different folders and than see the values in the <Folder name> dropdown control. It has some weard characters that I believe is pointing to folders. If I click any of those items it goes to a folder.
What can I do to remove those weard items form the <Folder name>?

There are 2 items in the folder name drop down control
- Inbox and '000000004C2792B32A8E254B9A952D70FCEE8FAA0100DDFFCBEB8D0FC64391D5F23F4F27BC5F0000000536800000'
It seems when I enter any folder it creates another entry in the 'Folder Name' drop down that is mapped to the folder that I clicked into.
It seems to happen after I upgraded to SP2. I am using outlook 2007 and running XP

You can try to reset folder names to see if it can be changed to normal name.
To reset the folder names, open up command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
· Type C: and press enter to make sure you're on the C drive.
· Type cd "\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE14"
· Type outlook /resetfoldernames
