MS Outlook still showing old dismissed reminders

If MS outlook still shows reminders that were dismissed previously then you will need to manually remove them.

click on Windows Start menu button > Click on Run and type: outlook.exe /cleanreminders

This screenshot shows how you enter it, using the /cleanreminders switch as an example.

Occasionally you’ll need to use the full path to Outlook, then the command line looks like this:

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe” /switch

Notes:

Before using a command line switch, you need to close Outlook and verify it’s closed in Task Manager’s Processes tab.

Paths that include spaces between words must be enclosed in quotation marks (“) and are case sensitive.

If you use Vista or Windows 7, you can type the command line in the Start Search field on the Start menu.

You’ll need the full path if you  want to create desktop shortcuts using a switch, such as to open Outlook to a specific folder:

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe” /select outlook:calendar
