Turn off Outlook 2003 archive settings globally?

First off, I'm not a novice user and have a semi-advanced question. In
Outlook 2003 you can turn on archiving for ALL folders/subfolders with
a single click. If you turn it on, if you later right click on a
single folder and go to properties, archiving (doing this from memory
so I might not be 100% accurate) it will show that the folder >IS< set
to archive. You can also turn archiving off globally. But if you later
turn it back on, it remembers each, individual folders' settings. Is
there a way to 'reset' this flag? Basically, I have a user with about
(no lie) 200 sub folders. Some IDIOT turned on the archiving globally
when she only wanted a single folder to be archived. The only way I
was able to un-do this was to sit there for an hour and right click
each folder and turn off the archiving setting. Is there an easy way
to do this?

Nope...AA must be turned on globally or the individual folders won't AA
either.
