I don't know why the switch isn't working for you. With a tool like
OutlookSpy (ww.dimastr.com) you can remove the Master Category List
yourself. It's a hidden message in the default calendar called
'IPM.Configuration.CategoryList'. If you delete that message, Outlook will
show the default list at the next startup.
