Need to Rename Outlook Archive Folders

One of the drawbacks from my preferred method for archiving old mail in Outlook 2007 is that when the archived folders are displayed in your folder list, all of the archived folders are listed generically.
It would be really great to be able to rename these folders and have Outlook remember the name.
Even when I was using the master archive instructions to try and accomplish this task, I still never found a way to rename the resulting archive folder name. Outlook 2007 always seemed to forget the name every time the archive process ran.
If this list gets annoying to look at you can close each archive folder, but the next time the process runs they will all reappear and be labeled just "Archive Folders" again.
It’s really annoying.
I’ve not figured out anyway to change the name or use the Description field to maintain the information to be displayed as I would like in the folder listing in Outlook 2007.
