Tip of the Month – February 2010
Who Stole My Outlook?
Last month’s tip on Internet Explorer was very popular; so here’s a similar one for Outlook 2007.
If Outlook is bogging down, try disabling some unnecessary Add-Ins.
- In OL-2007, select menu Tools/Trust Center, then ‘Add-Ins’
- At the bottom of the dialog, select ‘COM Add-Ins’ beside the Manager: and select the ‘Go’ button
- From here you are presented with a list of Add-Ins
- By checking/unchecking boxes, you can enable/disable any Add-In you suspect is giving you problems – or all of them, turning on those you need as you require. (By disabling iTunes, PDFMaker and Office Groove Proxy, my Outlook perked up significantly and I no longer get ‘hangs’ at exit)
Note that turning off the check only disables the Add-On from loading, and does not remove it completely.
Discuss removal of your Add-In with your support team at helpdesk@blueedgetech.ca first.
