Does anyone know of a listing of registry settings in Outlook? Specifically I need to enable the "Empty deleted items on exit" and the "don't warn before deleting" options. I would assume that they are in the Settings binary key in combined format, but does anyone know of a way to set these on an individual basis?

I am not sure why you would want to enable the options via the registry? These options you refer to are available via Tools - Options: -

1. To empty the deleted Items folder on exit, select the Other tab and you will find a checkbox that enables or disables this option.

2. For 'don't warn before deleting' option-click the Advance Settings button in the Other tab of Outlook options and again there is a checkbox for the warning.

Hope the above helps.

I need use registry settings to standardize our installation. I got here after the damage had been done, so I couldn't use the outlook deployment wizard to do it.

I think you might find the answer in the MS Office Resource kit. I believe this contains a file called regkey.xls which has a complete listing.

I have not seen it myself but I have been meaning to search it out for a while to answer some of my own queries!

Worth a try anyway. Good luck!

Not really what I needed, but it was a good try. That sheet is for Terminal Server installations of Office, which allows you to set the keys individually. I ended up having to use newprof.exe and the profile wizard in the ork. I hate programs that don't give me total configuration control. Grr..
