In an Exchange environment, each user (by default) has Exchange as its default Email account, but I’m not looking at emails. I want to change a user’s default calendar to one of the public calendars. If this is possible (Outlook 2007, Vista, Exchange 2003), the users calendar views (To- Do Bar, etc.) will be focused on that user’s public calendar (folder) not the user’s personal calendar.

There is no standard feature in Outlook that will let you do this. You will have to do some VB/VBA/VBScript programming to accomplish this task.
Here is some sample code:
Set MyFolder = GetFolder("Public Folders\All
Public Folders\DDD\DDD Calendar").Items
Public Function GetFolder(strFolderPath As String)
As MAPIFolder
' strFolderPath needs to be something like
' "Public Folders\All Public
Folders\Company\Sales" or
' "Personal Folders\Inbox\My Folder"
Dim objApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim colFolders As Outlook.Folders
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim arrFolders() As String
Dim I As Long
On Error Resume Next
strFolderPath = Replace(strFolderPath, "/", "\")
arrFolders() = Split(strFolderPath, "\")
Set objApp = Application
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNS.Folders.Item(arrFolders(0))
If Not objFolder Is Nothing Then
For I = 1 To UBound(arrFolders)
Set colFolders = objFolder.Folders
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objFolder = colFolders.Item(arrFolders(I))
If objFolder Is Nothing Then
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Set GetFolder = objFolder
Set colFolders = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Function
And here is a site with a bit more information on the subject as I am no expert on VB/VBA/VBScript programming:

Public Folder Store, Exchange 2003, Outlook 2007, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Outlook
Exchange 2003 environment, with Win XP and Vista client computers. Is there a way an individual user can configure Outlook (2007, with Vista) to open (default) with that individual's public folder(calendar), instead of the personal one? Right-clicking on the folder, dragging to the Desktop, and selecting Copy here yields a 'command line argument' error.
