Changing Default Calendar in Outlook – Workaround Available…

by john . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

This is a reply to a previous poster who cancelled his thread after being told there was no good way to change the default calendar in outlook. The caveat is that this is a brute force way to do it, but it works:

1 – Create a new pst file

2 – Copy the contacts, tasks, inbox, and calendar that you want as defaults to this new file.

2a close outlook

3 – Change the name of the previous pst file

4 – Restart outlook – it will freak out and tell you the file is gone.

5 open your new pst file if it is not already open within outlook

6 close outlook

7 open outlook

Outlook will now face the hard reality that you have a new file and make the items within your new pst its defaults. I’ve been using this method for years through many upgrades and inbox changes and it works like a charm, ugly though it is.
