OProfile fails to set EmptyDeletedItemsOnExit

This article applies to:

• OProfile 4.0

SYMPTOM

OProfile does not set the Delete items on exit option in Outlook 2000 and Outlook XP.

CAUSE

wasControl over the "Delete items on exit" option in Outlook has been moved from the MAPI profile to the the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.  An older template OProfile.ini file was included in the OProfile 4.0.106 distribution.  This file did not include the new location of this setting.  

RESOLUTION

This issue can be resolved by adding the registry path to the EmptyWastebasket setting in Section 3 of the OProfile ini file.

Open your OProfile.ini file and locate the following line:
 
EmptyWastebasket=PT_BOOLEAN,0x0115
 
change the line to:
 
EmptyWastebasket=PT_BOOLEAN,0x0115,Outlook\Preferences,EmptyTrash

Save the file and launch OProfile.
