Does anyone know a way to remove all calender entries for
past years, like 1999-2003 without having to delete each
item manually???
 
You can write code that will go through your entries and delete them based
on date criteria that you specify. You can ask in a programming group for
help or to see if someone already has code to do this.

Create a table view containing all entries filtered with the dates you
require. Apply view, select all and delete. Alternatively, create a table
view of all entries, sort by start date, select beginning item, shift select
end item, thus highlighting all between. right mouse button and delete.
Voila!

That does not work for recurring items that recur indefinitely. By
selecting the start date as the criteria, you will include everything such
as birthdays, anniversaries (although some of these will eventually not
recur, but let's not be morbig.)
