Hmm well I know I have the rights to make the changes needed as I am admin on this station. And the policy for the company is really just scanning now and then and mainly good faith of its tech employees. So it must be the fact im using a non full install of office. Im curious though as to if i create the reg entries that are different so that they match will outlook recognize them and work?

You could always try.

My suggest would be to back up your registry first. Then apply the change, if it doesn't work remove it.

If any problems occur, you can boot in safe mode and restore the registry from the backup.

Sounds like a plan, Ill give it a try at the end of the work day when I can spare the workstation crashing on me and let everyone know how it worked out.

Odious, I'm in the exact same situation. I do have a full install of Office2k, but my regestry does not have that 10.0 key... I tried creating the DWORD in the 9.0 key but that didn't work. I also tried making a 10.0 key and putting the DWORD in there but that did not work either. I even rebooted after each attempt and nada..

What a shame... that's crappy that it wont min to the tray from the factory.. :mad:

I have tried this with Outlook 2002 in windows xp and it does not work?

Any suggestions?

Uhhh P.S. CSC gal wow u look nice in that pic! Am I allowed to say that hear? LOL

You can use this nifty lil util I've been using for the past few years now - PowerMenu. Unzip and run the .exe (there's only 3 files in the .zip, and 1 is an .html README page. The other file is a .DLL)

No installation, no fuss, no mess :)

Works on any program in all versions of Windows. Also adds the ability to change the transparency (sp?) of a window, and to make it "always on top."

(After you run the .exe, just right-click on the titlebar of a window and choose "Minimize to tray.")

I'm having the same issue... any solution for a regedit in this case? it's my only way to change the setting on a paticular machine.
