Outlook 2007 categories seem to work a bit differently. Before that
categories were kept in the registry. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.asp.
Does that help?

Ok, the "Category" key appeared once I manually added a category in
Outlook's category manager. Anyone an idea why this is the case? Where
does Outlook find the categories before that?

If you want to change the appointment item depending on the category
you could use the event that gets fired when an item is created. There
you check if the category is your custom one and then modify the item
accordingly.

In Outlook 2003 the master category list won't be added to the registry
before you add the first item of your own. And adding a category directly to
an item by code doesn't put it into the master list. That is you always have
to write that yourself into the registry. See this for some more details:

No matter how you add a category in Outlook 2003, that has nothing to do
with the color labels for appointments. Labels aren't exposed by the Outlook
object model. Here's an example for how to add labels:

Not sure if I understand you. You don't have to use any controls or third
party software. As for the label appointment example, instead of using the
Redemption you can also use CDO 1.21, which comes with your Outlook.
