That's exactly what it is, thanks. Looks like this is a change in 2010 so no wonder it was driving me batty.
Thanks again I will execute the fixes in the article and report back if I have additional issues Sincerely Troy C.

I am running WinZip and X1 Add ins. Haven't tried removing or disabling them yet but will give it a whirl when I get back into the office. Traveling right now, but when I return and get to check it out I will let you know Troy C.

The question becomes - what add-ins are you running and what happens if you disable them (or don't install them)? Regards, Michael B.

I noticed that my OST was almost 50GB and STILL GROWING, which is odd because my OST was no more than 17GB with Office 2007 a. Hmm ok so I thought maybe it was a bizarre issue adding in additional information to my pre-existing Office 2007 OST so I deleted the OST and started over b. Nope again it grew with great gusto and had no intention of stopping. Also I couldn't see any of my calendar information 2. Ok so I said heck with it for now I will turn cached mode off a. Umm nope even if you turn cached mode off it still creates an OST b. Round and round I went until I found an article on this issue that occurs on Terminal Service and Citrix boxes. Only thing is I am running on a laptop with XP so.... i. I went ahead anyway and followed this article just for kicks and it worked, i.e. no more OST For anyone who's interested, I created the following registry key to stop the OST from growing: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/OST In that key I created a DWORD named NoOST and set the value to 2. 3. So I solved my OST issue for the moment with the above but; a. Anyone know why the OST file size is so out of control? i. Yes I have a large mailbox and actually it's in its own database and no more than 20GB and like I said in Outlook 2007 is was about 17GB ii. I would really like to run an OST but not is its going to be 3+x the mailbox size b. Also any insight on why O2010 decides to ignore the settings in the profile? Troy C.
