Change Default Form for Folder

Hello,

This is not a programming message per se, but I thought there may be some
here who can help me:

A third-party Outlook add-on (PlanPlus 3.0) changed the default form type of
my Outlook Notes folder from IPM.StickyNote to IPM.Post. I have completely
removed PlanPlus but cannot get the Notes folder back to IPM.StickyNote. In
the Notes folder properties under the "General" tab, there is section that
says:

"When posting to this folder, use: IPM.Post"

The IPM.Post is in a drop-down. If I attempt to change it I get a message:

"You cannot create an item of this type in this folder."

Is there some way around this or is there a programatic way of altering the
default form type of a folder?

Thanks,

--Michael
 
The easiest thing to try without using code would be to start Outlook with
the /resetfolders switch. That should reset the Notes folder.

Open the Start, Run dialog and type in the following, with the space before
the switch but without the quotes: "outlook.exe /resetfolders".

If that doesn't work post back here and we can point you to some code you
can modify to reset the default item type of the folder.
