One of our users changed "something" in the Tasks view, and is now presented
with the "Outlook encountered an error and needs to close" message when
selecting the "Tasks" folder.

After submitting the error, a "more info" link is present; but this points
to a web page stating that "Office System" is the cause of the problem (We
don't have any Office System functionality installed) ?

Is there a way to reset the "Tasks" view to prevent Outlook from crashing ?

Relevant Information

Version: Outlook 200 10.6515.6817 SP3


The following is logged in the Application Event Log:
Source: Microsoft Office 10
Type: Error
Event ID: 1000
Description:
Faulting application outlook.exe, version 10.0.6626.0, faulting module
outllib.dll, version 10.0.6515.0, fault address 0x0003aadf.

As is often the case I found solution/workaround just after i posted the
question

For those interested: outlook /cleanviews did the trick.

I'd still be interested to know if there's a way to *only* reset the views
for a specific folder(type) ....
