True, there are many applications that store superfluous data under local
settings, however, some people like to keep their profile streamlined and
this option helps that. Plus, Microsoft’s /cleanreminders clearly doesn’t
work for all and having deleted and recreated the outlook profile, other than
deleting the users profile, this was the next best option. Should Microsoft
have a better option to resolve the reminders issue then I’d be glad to use
that. As for local video card settings – mine were unaltered.
cheers
