Set as default profile does not work...

[Guest]

Greetings,

I have this nagging problems on a few systems here. When I set an outlook
2000 profile as a "default" profile, it does not save this setting! I will
close outlook, and then reopen and it will prompt which profile I want to
load in outlook. There are/were no other profiles, as this has been the only
one since Office was installed/configured.

User is a Local Administrator on the system, so there shouldn't be any
security concerns.

How can I resolve this problem and mandate a specific outlook profile as a
"default" profile? Please advise, thanks!

Try this: Open 'Mail' from within the control panel, select 'Show Profiles'
and then set the default there. This works for me using Outlook 2k3.

This did not work. I only have one profile on the system, and this is
already configured to be the "default" profile. It just keeps prompting me
which profile to use when opening outlook even though there already is a
default profile. Very weird.

That's too bad it didn't work. Every time I had this issue it is resolved by
going into Control Panel/Mail and setting it there (even with one profile).

I wish you luck, sorry I couldn't help.

In addition to setting that profile as the default, did you also set Outlook not to prompt? You can do this in the Mail applet in Control Panel.
