Well then my problem must be the most obscure one that you've ever dealt
with, because that hasn't fixed the problem. :-(
OTOH, that means it's a great test for your ingenuity and detective skills.
I hadn't knowingly installed any add-ons but some applications appear to
have installed some without my knowledge.
Under "Add-in Manager", two add-ins are listed, but neither of them are
checked. It doesn't appear to be possible to remove them from the list
altogether, but given that they're unchecked, I presume they can't be doing
anything?
Under "COM add-ins, there was an iTunes add-in (goodness knows why!), but
I've uninstalled it now, and the problem hasn't gone away, although I've
confirmed that nothing is listed under COM add-ins any more. I tried
restarting my machine in case the uninstallation of the add-in required a
machine restart to take effect properly, but I've still got the problem!
So how good is your Harriet Vane impersonation?

| If safe mode opens Outlook then you have an Add In that's causing this
