Re: Toogle Desktop Alert active status?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

That setting is stored in the registry. For Outlook 2003 it's at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Preferences\NewmailDesktopAlerts, where 1 is an alert and 0 is no alert.

However, Outlook reads that value only on startup and when you change it in the Options dialog it stores the change in memory as well as writing it out to the registry. The only time it reads the registry for that is when it starts up.

Greetings! Would like to add a button to Outlook 2003 tied to a VBA snippet
that would activate/inactivate the Desktop Alert function. This is so when
using my laptop to make presentations, I don't get messages popping up.
Would much prefer not to have to dig down through the layers of the Tools
menu to activate/deactivate the function. However, am not having much
success finding information about the related VBA hook(s).

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
George
