Outlook - How To Cancel Appointment Reminders?

[troutman]

I want to stop Outlook from popping-up an appointment reminder window every 15 mins before my meetings. There is nothing in Help about that. Very annoying.

How can I shut-off the pop-ups?

Tools --> Options -->

Under the preferences tab, the first option that shows is the Default Reminder option. Set it differently from 15 minutes if you like, or simply disable it. Apply.

Profit.

On my version, I go to the calendar - "Tools" drop down - "Options" - and then under the "Preferences" tab look under "Calendar" there's a check box you can unclick called "Default Reminder." Make sure the box is unchecked.

Don't forget any appointments (if this works).

Edit: beaten to the punch...

Thanks everyone. I hope that works.

It won't clear reminders on previously booked appointments, just for future ones added to your schedule. You can disable/enable the reminder on an appointment by appointment basis - so if you've booked a lot prior to disabling the reminder, you'll have to disable them one by one.

Also, if you're invited to meetings by others, the meeting organizer sets the reminder. You can change the settings for your personal reminder for this meeting when you're in the invite, prior to accepting it.
