Outlook 2003 "First Run" redo?

When you first launch Outlook under a new user's login, it prompts you
for several options about "updating" or "converting" from a different
e-mail client.

I messed up while setting up a new machine and wanted to go back and
have Outlook run those "wizards" again. But, for the life of me, I
cannot figure out how to do it, short of completely deleting the user
(and the attendant profile) and then recreating them. This would be a
real hassle at this point because of the settings I've already done.

Does anyone know what the "trigger" for those first run routines is? And
is there a way to re-set it?

TIA,

I am not sure whether it's that you mean but start Outlook one time with
the parameter /firstrun.

Start | Run | outlook.exe /firstrun
