Yesterday I launched Outlook 2003 and my large collection of custom
Groups and Shortcuts were gone. Vanished. Disappeared. Zapped.
This happens to me every six months or so. I don't have any unusual
characters in the names of the Shortcuts.
It is a pain to recreate these.
I don't know the cause, based on Google searches I don't think this is
a known Outlook 2003 bug. There's no appropriate entry in Microsoft's
knowledge base.
It's probably something arising from my environment (a toxic mix of an
advanced personal desktop and our ugly corporate infrastructure with
lots of stuff being pushed to my desktop). I have very large PST files
and I index using Microsoft's Live indexing (once called Windows
Desktop Search).
So my questions are (all answers much appreciated):
1. Where are the shortcuts stored? Can I back them up? (If I could
back them up it wouldn't bother me when they vanish).
2. Is anyone else seeing a recent spike in this problem?
Thanks!
