True, there are many applications that store superfluous data under local settings, however, some people like to keep their profile streamlined and this option helps that. Plus, Microsoft’s /cleanreminders clearly doesn’t work for all and having deleted and recreated the outlook profile, other than deleting the users profile, this was the next best option. Should Microsoft have a better option to resolve the reminders issue then I’d be glad to use that. As for local video card settings – mine were unaltered. cheers "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote:
