Tip 882: Outlook 2010 default reminder time bug (Fixed)

This bug is fixed in Outlook 2010 SP1 Outlook 2010 SP1

I thought I posted this bug a long time ago but search doesn't bring it up, so here goes. If it's really a duplicate, sorry. :)

When users attempt to change the Calendar's Default reminder from 15 minutes to a value of 1 day or more, the new value isn't saved. It works correctly if the reminder time is under 1 day, but anyone who needs a reminder time of 1 day or more will need to edit the registry and create (or edit) the following registry key and value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
DWORD: RemindDefault
Enter the minutes you want to use for the reminder ie, 1440 Decimal equals 1 day.
