Turn off reminder when creating new tasks

[Guest]

Hi to all...

My hope is to stop an annoying outlook feature I get every morning...

Would anyone know how to setup outlook so the reminder checkbox is not
automatically selected when creating new tasks due in the future?

Here's a little more meat:
I create new tasks in the task pane within the calendar view. I have a due
date column added so I can note when I need to get the task done by (or what
day to work on the task). However, every time I create a task for the next
day (or further out), the reminder checkbox automatically is checked with an
8am reminder on the due day. Preferrably, the reminder checkbox should be
left off so I am not inundated with various reminders on the day I need to
work on the task.

Appreciate if you could share any ideas you'd have.

TIA!
