Allow Outlook to make changes to this computer?

Allow Outlook to make changes to this computer?

When I try to start Outlook, I get the following question;
"Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"

If I click "No", nothing happens. If I click "Yes", I get the error;
"No profiles have been created. To create a new profile, use the Mail icon in the Control Panel."

This error is then directly followed by;
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The server is not available. Contact your administrator if this condition persists."

I went to the Mail applet in Control Panel and my mail profile and mail account is configured as it should but still Outlook does not open. I'm the administrator of this computer;
How can I get Outlook to work again?

Quickly return to last open window in Windows 7

Ever had multiple windows open of Outlook, had to switch to some other applications and then just want to return to the last window that you had open in Outlook without first needing to go through all the previews?

There is a keyboard shortcut for that in Windows 7 and I find myself using it basically every day so I thought I’d share it for today’s tip.

Saving and using pst-files on an external USB-drive

Saving and using pst-files on an external USB-drive

I have an Outlook archive (pst-file) stored on an external USB-drive which I carry with me so I can use it from both my main PC and my laptop.

Somebody told me that connecting to pst-files stored on a network share isn't supported and that this would also apply to USB-drives which got me wondering;

Is using my pst-file from an external USB-drive supported?

Creating an ANSI pst-file in Outlook 2010 or 2013

Creating an ANSI pst-file in Outlook 2010 or 2013

We still have some older Outlook clients that we need to be compatible with. Therefore we still create pst-files in the ANSI format.

In Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 we got prompted to choose a format (ANSI or UNICODE), in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 this prompt appears to have been removed and Outlook always creates a UNICODE formatted pst-file.

Is it no longer possible to create ANSI formatted pst-files?

Add frequently used Message Templates to Outlook’s Jump List

Add frequently used Message Templates to Outlook's Jump List

When right clicking on a Taskbar icon, there is a menu (Jump List) which contains application specific actions and/or a Recent list.

For instance, the Jump List for Word, provides quick access to files I've recently used and allows me to pin files which I use on a regular basis. Outlook however, does not seem to keep such a Recent list.

Is it possible to also get a "Recent items" list in the Jump List of Outlook for easy access to saved message templates?
