How do I turn off Outlook 2003's Journal

How do I turn off Outlook 2003's Journal. It was turned on by accident and I
would like to make it stop recording and I would also like to delete all
entries in the journal. Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks,
Greg

To delete all entries in the Journal, switch to the journal folder and then
go to a view like by category. Select the first item in the list. Then click
Ctrl + A to select all items. Delete them.

To turn off the Journal, go to Tools, Options, Journal Options and uncheck
all the boxes there.

I tried this and since I had just turned it on by mistake, there wasn't
anything in the boxes and nothing had been recorded...but it is still listed
in my folder list. Is there a way to delete/turn off the Journal? I don't
think I'll ever have to use it.

Thanks,
Donna

The Journal is one of Outlook's default folders and cannot be turned off.

Oh that explains it LOL....I could have sworn I saw it turn on after I
clicked Yes when it asked me Are you sure? but I may have been seeing things.
OK thank you for getting back to me.
