Customize Outlook Today fix?

[John Crankshaw]

I've just updated to WinXP, re-installed Office 2000, and now Outlook 2000
'Customize Outlook Today' doesn't work. Apparently a conflict with a recent
XP security patch?

The registry change workaround scares me some.

Any fix coming or here?

I don't know of any other fix than the work-around. Microsoft won't be
changing Outlook 2000 any more, I suspect. I've used this with no trouble:

Forgot to mention that when I want to make a change, I go in, change
registry, run Outlook, customize to my liking, then exit Outlook, and change
the registry back, keeping it locked and protected...
