forgiveness is sexy

I’ve been a delegate for various colleagues down the years and have collected a fair old list of shortcuts to their outlook inboxes because of this.

Microsoft being Microsoft they dont ask you if you want this facility but fair enough it is useful while you have it.

Until that is you are no longer someone’s delegate whether your relationship changes or they leave etc. how do you remove the shortcuts to deadlinks

Not in the preferences? Nope. Not in anywhere editable by the GUI? Nope.

You have to search for a registry key in base64 and delete one or more binary entries within that key

sheesh!
