Can anyone tell me if I can set the registry key to have deleted items
emptied when closing outlook. I know there is a setting but I would like to push this out to our user pc's as people in our firm have not emptied their deleted items for 5 years. So I would like to force it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Deb |
