MS Office 2007 Ultimate - Urgent Question - Please Help!!

I am running MS office ultimate 2007 on a Windows Vista Business Dell Laptop.

I am having an issue where Office 2007 keeps creating the following file
folders everywhere on my C drive. Folders created: "Outlook Calendar" and
"Outlook Contacts". Everytime I use any office application to save a document
into a folder on my C drive, Office 2007 autmatically creates the above two
folders in that same location. I keep deleting these folders but they get
recreated? This is driving me nuts!! I have these folders all over my C
drive. Please tell me how to stop this?

Thanks to all that reply!

The only cure is to uninstall Office 2000. Seriously, that's what is causing
it, not Office 2007. Unfortunately you either have to live with it, knowing
that at least only two will be created in the folder, or uninstall Office
2000. As I'm sure you've found, every attempt to delete the folders results
in immediate repopulation.

I never installed office 2000 on this machine. Office 2007 is th eonly
version I have ever installed on this machine.

Did you happen install the Proofing Tools from Office 2000 for spell check
in Outlook? Did you check Add/Remove Programs for any Office 2000 related
entries?

I've encountered this issue myself and I was definitely due to Office 2000.

An addin might cause this. On Dell computers and Office 2003 it was
*OutlookAddin* by Cyberlink. If this add-in is installed, delete it.

have you looked in the Add-ins page in Outlook?

I looked under options in outlook, where would I find the "add-in" information?

Tools-Trust Centre

Look in Add/Remove Programs for something along the lines of "Outlook
Add-in" and uninstall it.

Interestingly, I had this add-in installed on my Dell as well and it was
causing all sorts of issues such as delay in typing and an odd repeating
appointment bug in Outlook. I didn't encounter the empty folders bug until
after installing the Proofing Tools from Office 2000 and that was long after
I uninstalled the Outlook Add-in. Now I'm wondering if the two were related
in some way??

If uninstalling the add-in resolves the issue please post back and let us
know -- especially if I need to change my 'mental notes' on this one. :-)
