clean reinstall of outlook???

[Zyggy]

I've tried to reinstall outlook repeatedly by removing ms office and
all registry entriest pertaining to outlook with regedit. However,
after reinstalling ms office and opening outlook, I still have my old
personal folders file complete with all my old data. TIA

That is correct. Uninstalling Office does not remove your files that you
created with Office.

Thanks for the response Milly...but getting back to my original
question...how do I get a clean re-install with a generic set of
personal folders in the folder list box...I don't want the original
files. TIA

No reason to reinstall for that. Simply close Outlook and rename the .pst
file to something else. Restart Outlook and when it complains it can't find
it, let it create a new one.
