Default event reminder interval

[Guest]

Hi,

From what I've read from past comments, I understand that Outlook does not
offer you the option of altering the default reminder period for events,
which is always set to 18 hours (it can be changed for individual events, but
the default remains 18 hours.)

Is there _any_ way at all that it can be changed? For example, by changing a
registry setting, or even by modifying the OUTLOOK.EXE file using Visual
Studio? I would like to change the default because I often forget to change
it for new events I create, and then I synchronise my calendar with my mobile
phone, which then rudely wakes me up at 6am in the morning! I would prefer it
if the default interval was 15 hours (so I get the reminder at 9am, the time
I start work.)

Thanks
Klitos

As an alternative, you may try another reminder software, e.g. Cute
Reminder. You can define there a default time for your reminders. And
you need just two mouse clicks to setup a reminder. Export/import
to/from Outlook is supported.
