Need to "un-dismiss" all the reminders that were showing up in outlook 2003
I was working on setting up a new laptop for a co-worker and after I installed Outlook 2003, I found out she has about 50 reminders that come up every few minutes. They really started to annoy me so I hit "dismiss all". After I was done setting up the laptop, i found out she likes those reminders and she wants them back! Basically, when she opens outlook 2003, she wants to have a window pop up with all 54 reminders in it and beep at her every few minutes. How do i get this back?
Using Windows Vista Business, Outlook 2003, cached exchange mode. (she travels frequently for her position, and like to be able to access email even while off line)
Thanks!

For me, when I dismiss all my reminders, they come back when I restart outlook.

Nope not for me. I even rebooted the laptop and no reminders came up.
I was thinking of using the /cleanreminders command, but I was afraid of getting rid of all of her reminders.

/Cleanreminders does clear the reminders but then it regenerates them based on the reinders settings that have been set.

cleanreminders is the switch to use. It will reset the reminders system, so the user should only get ones that occur in the future (so a reminder for tomorrow for example).

However, If you have dismissed the reminders I beleive she will just need to re-add any reminders that have been removed from her Outlook Items. Unless of course you have an earlier backup of her mailbox or pst.

If I used the cleanreminders switch, will it delete her reminders that are in the past? If so, that's exactly what I don't want to do.
What if I were to uninstall office and reinstall it? Would that bring her reminders back?
Her reminders are emails that she flags to follow up to later. (She is an field salesman who can't always respond to emails when she gets online. She will wait until the end of the day to respond to emails and the email reminders)

Oh sorry. No you cannot undo the dismiss all, without opening the items and setting it again.
I misinterpreted the question - usually the question about reminders is how to get rid of them because the dismiss all isn't working.

Thank you for the tip! The lady whose laptop this belongs to, figured out how to set reminders in the future, and understands why the reminders don't work for the past reminders
