Windows 7 Possible Windows 7 problem with Outlook 2007

[Totenglocke]

I installed Office 2007 and it runs great -- except every time I delete RSS feeds in Outlook, they just come right back the next time I run Outlook. Is this a Win 7 flaw, or is it really just impossible to turn those stupid default RSS feeds from Microsoft off?

Experiencing issues with Outlook not retaining deleted RSS feeds in Office 2007 can be frustrating. This problem is not specific to a Windows 7 flaw but rather related to how Outlook manages RSS feeds. Here are some steps you can take to try to resolve this issue:

1. Disable RSS Feeds:
   • Open Outlook and go to "Tools" -> "Account Settings."

   []Remove Default RSS Feeds:
