Cannot Delete the Business Contact Manager Toolbar in Microsoft Outlook 2007
My PC is an HP e9150t quad core machine using an Intel i7 CPU (920@2.67 GHz). I have 8 GB of RAM and am running Windows 7 Home Premium-64-Bit. I have Microsoft Outlook 2007, and since I have never used it and never intend to use it, I wanted to delete the toolbar for the business contact manager.
I went to View > Toolbars > Customize > Clicked on the Business Contact Manager for Outlook toolbar (which was checked) > Selected Delete > Confirmed that yes I did want to actually delete it when the message came up > The toolbar was now gone from the list of toolbars, and I clicked close for the customize window.
When the window closed, the toolbar was still showing on the top of my Outlook, and when I checked the available toolbars again it was back as though I never tried to delete it. I closed down and reopened Outlook, without impacting anything.
What do I need to do to get rid of this thing or at least have it not display?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much. What would SQL 2005 also be used for? I have numerous programs on my computer so is there any way to find out if any of them besides Outlook 2007 needs SQL 2005 ?

Hello,
I get as far as "Please uncheck the BCM " and I get a pop-up message that this can only be done by the administrator. I searched within Outlook when it was opened, on how to change it to be run as the administrator and could not find an answer.
So I shut down Outlook and tried to open it as administrator and could not see an option on the right click-context menu to do so. how can I do this?

You need then to do this by registry. Type regedit in search area. Then do a right click on the regedit and select run as administrator.
Then do the following:
Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Of
Expand the addin Key and disable the BCM by renaming it
If you do not find the addin listed there then go to the following registry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Of

I would have thought Add/Remove Programs via Control Panel would be a whole lot easier than what you are currently doing, messing with the registry and potentially crippling your machine if you don't know what you are doing.

I'm not sure why I didn't remove the program via control panel either. But it does dead-end so far after a restart of Outlook, it seems fine.Thank you very much for your help.
That will remove it for you.
