Environment : Windows XP with Visual Studio 2005 Pro with VSTO 2005 SE and
Outlook 2003.

I've been happily testing a com addin to detect new appointment items.. but
one time I obviously did something seriously wrong because Outlook popped up
a window ( and I wish I wrote the message down.. but it was something along
the lines of ) Outlook has detected a bad com addin would you like me to
unload it? By mistake I said yes... Now it seems I can't a) get my com add
in to load at startup, b) I've tried to remove it from
tools-options-other-advanced-com-addin , it goes away, but I still can't load
via VSTO debug.. c) an artifact is it has left a menu item on the main menu
bar..
I tried to repair outlook.. no go.. the I used the re-install option of the
installer.. again, my menu item is still there and I can't load coms.
I'm guessing I actually have to remove outlook and reinstall fresh? Any
suggestion on how to proceed? Thanks for taking the time to read this story
