How to reformat Outlook 2003

[nakashmi]

My fiance's father gave me his old computer. I've never used Outlook before
but thought it would be easier to get started by re-formating Outlook to
erase all his settings and information. I do not have the disks to
uninstall and reinstall Outlook. I could get them from him, but this might
be a bit difficult and take some time since he's far away, so I'd prefer to
just reformat if there is a way to do this.

Thanks!!

I'd just get rid of his PST file and make a new one

and then hit 'restore defaults' under tools, options

Aaron's advice is excellent here, if you don't mind erasing all his contacts
(I'd think you would have at least some in common but that's your call).

If you have more questions, though, please scroll down the list of subject
areas on the (somewhat confusing) Microsoft webpage and post in a newsgroup
supporting Outlook. This group is for a different program, Microsoft Access.
