Outlook not saving default profile

When I start outlook 2010, I click an option to save my default profile.  But when I start up, it doesn't remember my settings. Is there a way to fix this? What does "set as default profile" really mean?

This is a solution as a means to an end. <o:p></o:p>
The real problem is that Microsoft Outlook is supposed to override this setting. The idea behind "Set as Default Profile" is to make it to where
this does not prompt the user again. This should be fixed.<o:p></o:p>
What should happen, is Microsoft Outlook should be flipping HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles, Value "DefaultProfile" to the selected profile. After this, the system should then flip off "Prompt for a profile to be used". This can be done at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options\PickLogonProfile Reg_SZ
Value set to 0. This will then make the process of having to go via control panel null.  <o:p></o:p>
I'm specifically thinking about Domain environments. Lock downs require us moving users to change control panel options, we would benefit greatly from
this. I suggest a hot fix for this if there is not one already and if there is, that would be my suggested fix in the future. <o:p></o:p>

  • Acrobat Standard Ver. 7 Not saving Default preferences.

    Seeking help on why Acrobat Standard Ver. 7 Not saving Default preferences.  Specifically, the zoom level. It always reverts back to something other than the 100% I set it at. The operating systerm is Windows 7, Pro if that helps.

    As I recall, you are the first person who has reported even getting AA7 to work in Win7. Any operations with that combination are likely to work with luck. I assume you mean the preferences set under the edit menu. You might try changing AA7 to run in compatibility mode and see if that does the job.

  • Sticky notes not saved - default notes on every start

    I could not save my sticky notes.
    When I start the Sticky notes, two default nots appear with some description about the application.
    I can delete them, add new notes, but after quit and restart the application, the two default notes appear again and the new notes are lost. It seems, that the notes are not saved.
    Any idea?

  • Disney junior app, not saving daughters profile and some of the games?

    Daughter has Disney game apps downloaded, but since yesterday some of the apps have to be re-installed to use, not saved to ipad like they normally do and her profile is wiped everytime she goes back into the Disney junior app. There is space in storage and i have checked settings and cannot see anything that would stop this.

    What do you mean by: "not loading completely"?
    Maybe this:

  • ACR not saving color profiles when saving out to TIF...

    The Players:
    ACR 4.6, PS CS3, Mac OS X, MacBook, Nikon D200
    The Problem:
    ACR does not seem to be saving my color profiles when I work on my Nikon D200 NEF files. After saving them out as TIFs and opening them in Photoshop CS3 - files read as "Untagged RGB" and the colors are definitely way off from what they were saved as in ACR. Frustrating!
    The Request:
    Thank you for any help - trying to get a job done!
    Best,

    Paul,
    You need to update your Photoshop to version 10.0.1 ASAP. You're also two versions behind in the OS; 10.5.6 is out.
    If you do not know how to trash Photoshop's preferences, check out the FAQs in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057d1b
    To trash Bridge prefs, hold down the Option key as you relaunch Bridge, then check the boxes in the ensuing dialog box.

  • Outlook Not Saving Passwords

    A few times a day Outlook for Mac will ask me to enter my passworkd for email.  I have three emails accounts and enter the passwords, the click on "remember this password in my email keychain" but they don't seem to stick.  The constant entering of the passwords is annoying, any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    I get a message on occasion that an account can't be accessed becasue of a user name/password but the message never says anything about my keychain. I just cancel the message and go about my business. And everything continues to work.
    If you could post a screenshot (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5775?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) the next time that you have the problem, and post it here, maybe we could be of some assistance. Otherwise, you may want to post on the Microsoft Mac forum -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.

  • SAP note 1483283 -Default DIR_PUT directory and Defalt profile

    Hi Experts,
    We are doing solution manager upgrade and facing the same issue as discribed in SAP note 1483283
    When I try to run the command at OS level -
    tp unlocksys SM9 pf=usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_SM9.PFL
    I am not sure what to do with command unlocksys as it is not taking default profile for TP-which profile we should use as we have not created any seperate directory, what would be the directory for DIR_PUT and what would be the default.tpp profile.
    Solutions are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sabita

    Hi
    1)the correct command should be
    tp unlocksys pf=(DIR_PUT)/bin/DEFAULT.TPP
    2) Normally while upgrade you lock all the users except sap* and ddic, Unlocksys command will unlock the system means all allow the users to login
    3)DIR_PUT is the root directory for R3 upgrade,this is the one where the temporary data required for the R/3 upgrade is stored. The logs written during the upgrade are also stored there.
    plese check AL11 for the value of this parameter.
    Thanks,
    Jansi

  • Outlook view settings not saved

    I have one user who looses all View settings when restarting Outlook. Occasionally they will save, but it is very rare. Setting the Reading Pane to Off is one good example of a setting that does not save.
    The creation of new Views is also not saved. After restarting Outlook, the new View does not appear in Manage All Views.
    I have tried creating a new Outlook profile and I'm told that Office 2013 C2R has been re-installed since this problem started. 
    Outlook 2013 Click-To-Run via an Office 365 E3 subscription. Exchange Online mailbox. Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. 
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Basically, Outlook view settings are stored in the default data file. If the data file is corrupt or recreated every time Outlook restarts, the view settings may be not saved.
    Does the user use Outlook with Cached Exchange mode enabled? If so, please go to
    C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Outlook Files and check if you have multiple .ost files in the folder.
    In addition, you may try to switch to turn off Cached Exchange mode and then test this issue again.
    Please let me know the result.

  • File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

    File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

    I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
    Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
    You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
    Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

  • Sent messages from secondary account are not saved in Outlook 2011 for Mac

    We are using a shared email account added in Outlook 2011 for Mac.  It's not the default account but we send from it often.
    Whenever sending from this secondary mailbox, the message is not saved in sent items folder under the secondary mailbox or the default mailbox.  There seems to be no record of the sent item anywhere.
    I verified the message is sent and received.
    All microsoft updates have been applied and we are using Exchange 2010.

    Hello,
    Please first log into OWA and check if the email are saved in the Sent Items folder.
    We can tick the option "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder" in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 to save a copy of sent message, please check if you get such option in Outlook for Mac.
    In addition, in Outlook for Windows, we can change a registry key to force Outlook to save sent emails in the default or secondary mailbox, but I'm not sure if Outlook 2011 has such trick. See:
    http://www.msoutlook.info/question/278

  • Sent items not saved in personal sent items when shared mailbox is open in outlook

    hi,
    user is using exchange 2010 and the shared mailboxes are in exchange 2003. when user send an email as send as to the shared mailbox the sent items is not saved in her personal sent items. she can look up the sent items on her shared mailboxes sent items.
    I tried recreating her profile when the shared mailboxes are not added in the outlook, personal sent items is okay  but when the shared mailboxes is added , sent items doesn't go to her personal sent items. Please help. Is it by design?

    Hi,
    Since Exchange 2003 server is out of support, I still suggest migrating to Exchange 2010 server.
    How about this behavior on OWA, if everything going well as expected, it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
    Please try to run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    Thanks

  • Outlook error "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"

    Hi,
    Re: "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list.  The operation failed" 
    I have a client who is getting the above error when attempting to change delegate permissions in Outlook 2010.
    She is also getting this error when she tries to remove a delegate.
    I have tried recreating her mail profile.
    I have also tried kb2593557. The auto fix didn't work at all and the registry fix only removes the error message and not the problem. This client would like to be able to edit her delegate permissions.
    She is on Exchange 2010
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    The article you provided is not related to the error message that the user is getting it.
    Can you please provide better solution? I know this answer and this post is old but I am having same issue.
    The error message is only (The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed) I was not able to attach screen shot.

  • Profile settings not saved when OS shuts down! :(

    Hi guys! I'm a proud Mac convert but I'm having a little bit trouble with saving my profile settings. My Macbook was purchased in TX, my sister played with the settings for a while before it was shipped to me here in the Philippines. She just put it to sleep mode,so I shut it down, but when I tried to restart it, all the settings were set to the default - the desktop wallpaper, the dock size and magnification, my aliases, and even the library files I add to my ITunes I have to do all over again!
    The files that I saved were not lost though, it seems to me that a new profile loads whenever I shut down the computer. I have verified that hunch when I saw multiple profile names under USERS (ComputerName1,ComputerName2, ComputerName3, ComputerName4, so forth and so on).
    Is there something that I did wrong?
    Macbook 2.0 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Black Model

    What you are calling "Profiles" are actually called "Users." And from reading your description more than one User has been setup on your MacBook. So it seems the issue is that you are logging into a user account other than the one you originally started using.
    When you restart the MacBook does it automatically login to a user account or do you have have to type a password to login? If it is automatically logging in, then you need to determine which user account your sister was using when she sent it to you. Once you do that you can set the MacBook to automatically login to that account and ignore the others.
    To set up automatic login go to System Prefs > Accounts and click Login Options. Click the "automatically log in as:" check box and choose the account from the pull down menu.
    But before you do that you need to find out from your sister what usernames and passwords she applied to each user account. When you have that information you can login to each account and when you see your custom desktop you will know which account you were originally using and set that one for automatic login.

  • ICloud + Outlook: no default profile error

    I'm trying to sync my iCloud contacts to Outlook, but I get the following error:
    "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again"
    However, there is a default profile set, the registry has:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles]
    "DefaultProfile"="Outlook"
    Which is where the default profile is stored (also the profile exists, obviously).
    So that error is a fat lie. Uninstalling Office 2010 x64, iTunes, iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and removing all profiles and then and reinstalling in the same order and creating a new profile does not fix the problem.
    Maybe someone knows where iCloud is looking for the default profile? Because it doesn't seem to look in the place MS stores it.

    I have the same issue.
    I had iCloud 1.x working with Outlook 2007 x32.  A few months back I upgraded to Office 2010 x64, which (of course) broke the iCloud integration.  I've waited for the "fix", and have now tried to - very unsuccessfully - install iCloud 2.11.   I've repaired, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, I've set default profiles, I've changed mail accounts...nada.
    Any other suggestions?
