Outlook "Customize Outlook Today..."

[Guest]

When I double-click the "Customize Outlook Today..." button. Nothing
happens. How can I get this feature to work? Thanks!

Best guess since you didn't mention any version details on Outlook or
operating system.

Wow...you're fast. ok. I'm going to give that a try. I have Microsoft
Outlook 2000 SR-1 (V9.0) with Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating
system (V5.1.2600). Wish me luck!

Neo, I followed the instructions and the button still didn't pull it up. So
I thought that perhaps I would try it again after rebooting. Nothing
happened still. And interestingly the DWORD entry was no longer in the
Registry.

Odd that the registry value would go missing after a reboot. You could try
pasting this into notepad and then save the "C" as 820575.reg. From there,
double click on it to see if it will import into the registry. At this
point, restart Outlook if it is already running and give the customize
button a try.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application
Compatibility]
"Outlook.exe"=dword:00000001


The only other thing I can think to check is right click on Outlook Today
and select properties. Go to the folder home page tab and see if the
address of the page starts with a "res:" url.
