I receive this pop up when opening Outlook 2003: 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Add-Ins\' is not a valid Office
Add-In. I can't find any way to fix or remove the pop up. Current add-ins are
OK. It's driving me nuts - help!

Thanks for trying, but my search did not find any "extend.dat" file.

Hi,

Open Outlook and go to Tools->Options->Other->Advanced Options->Add-Ins and
disable everything in the window.
Close and restart Outlook.
