I've looked through all these posts - is Microsoft going to realise that the
reason everyone is asking why they can't change the default reminder to
something other than 18 hours is because they want to?? And that software is
supposed to do what we want it to do?? Is there a chance that when I get
Outlook 2007 it will allow me to change the default for an all day event?
(this also seems to be what everyone else wants). Or should we just all go
out and buy an Apple in the hope that they care about their users more than
Microsoft?
Living in hope.

The default is hard coded and cannot be changed.

After furious head scratching, Manny asked:
