Default ITUNES OUTLOOK ADDIN

Don't uninstall it, just disable it. As long as you don't try to set up a
calendar synch connection or delete an existing one on the iTunes side of
things it won't get re-enabled. You can uncheck it in the COM Add-Ins dialog
to disable it.

That will set the LoadBehavior value in the registry to 2 from 3 (start with
Outlook). If you set that value in the registry to 0 it won't even show up
in the COM Add-Ins dialog.

Do this with Outlook shut down.

To set LoadBehavior type "regedit" in the Start, Run dialog, then press
Enter.

Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outloo k\Addins\iTunesAddIn.CalendarHelper.

In the right-hand pane select LoadBehavior and right-click on it and select
Modify. Set LoadBehavior to 0. OK the change and close the registry editor.

I usually start the iTunes software when I'm testing with it by plugging the
iPod into a USB port.

OK. If you start itunes with itunes.exe (need to create your own shortcut
icon), then the add-in won't appear in Outlook

However, if you click on the itunes icon put on the desktop, you get a
windows installer program and that absolutly puts the program back into
Outlook and, in my case, stops Outlook from closing.

Also, deleting or renaming the itunes addin dll file doesn't work; the
file just comes back.

Any thoughts about how to kill the add in completely.
