I have replied to a few individual posts and decided to
post under this subject to maybe reach anyone interested.
The issue is with Outlook 98/2000 and IE security patch
820575. All cumulative updates since that time include
that patch. When I install the IE update it renders
the "Options" button on the Outlook Today page inoperable.
Previously, to change Outlook Today options I had to
uninstall the update, change the options and reinstall the
update. Another point is I had to remember to uninstall
the previous security update before installing the latest
because one can only uninstall the last update.

Read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 820575 (OL2000:
You Cannot Customize Outlook Today After You Install
Critical Update 813489 for Internet Explorer).
This is for Outlook 2000 but it also works for me and I am
running Outlook 98. I have made two reg files and I merge
(import) them into the registry to toggle the Options
button on and off. As you read in 820575 it is best for
security purposes to leave this off and only toggle on
long enough to change options.
I saved these two reg files as:
Outlook Today Options Off.reg
Outlook Today Options On.reg
The content of these two files is below. Copy between the
dotted lines and paste into Notepad. Name and save the
files with a .reg extension. You can then toggle the
Outlook Today Options on and off.
1. Close Outlook.
2. Merge (import) the reg file.
3. Open Outlook.
Remember to merge Options Off reg file after making your
changes to Outlook Today for security reasons.
Oops, almost forgot; use at your own risk.
Outlook Today Options Off.reg
