I typed "hide Favorites folder" into the help/search box for Outlook.
Office Help says that this portion of the folder list cannot be hidden,
removed or resized. You may want to ask this question in the Outlook
newsgroups though. Maybe someone over there has figured out a way to remove
or hide it.

FYI: The folders that show here are "virtual folders." They do not
represent duplicate mails. Instead each item is a filtered views of email
stored in your other folders.

You can remove a folder in the Favorites category by right clicking and
selecting "remove from Favorites list." Caveat: if removed from this list,
folders such as Unread Mail and For Follow Up have to be manually recreated
for them to appear here in the future. Use Office Help and read the topic
"Remove a folder from the Favorite Folders pane" for details.
