Updated February 10, 2017 Exit any open Outlook 2007 windows. Find the “OUTCMD.DAT” file: Open the Windows Start menu, click “Computer,” double-click the C drive, open the “Users” folder, then select your Windows login account folder. Double-click “AppData,” open “Roaming,” select the “Microsoft” folder, then go into the “Outlook” folder. The “OUTCMD.DAT” file is located in the “Outlook” folder. Give the “OUTCMD.DAT” file a different name, such as “OLD.DAT.” Restart Outlook 2007. By default, when Outlook 2007 notices the absence of the “OUTCMD.DAT” file, it creates a new one from scratch, restoring the program to its default settings. Writer Bio
