Hi all,

According to Patricia Cardoza's excellent "Using Outlook 2003" there is no
way to share calendar labels, but I recall often that someone has discovered
a registry hack which will allow this. Our company uses Exchange Server and
there would be a great benefit to having a uniform set of labels throughout
the organization. Anyone have any idea if this is possible? I know there's a
registry hack to share a Master Category List.

Thanks in advance.

MagGyver

The registry is not involved at all here. Calendar label information is
stored as as a binary property of undocumented format on calendar folders.
Happy hacking.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean that it is a binary property of
undocumented format? How do I export and import this info for other users?

Thanks for your reply.

It means that it's a folder property, but exactly how that property works is
undocumented. You cannot export and import this information for other users.

If you want to learn about properties of Outlook folders and items , the
Mdbvu32.exe tool that comes with Exchange or the Outlook Spy tool from
http://www.dimastr.com is the essential tool.
