Solution:
Uninstall Office XP and Windows.


Why not uninstall Outlook and verify that the control has been unregistered?
Is there some mechanism that prevents this "dangerous" control from being
unregistered?  It seems to me to be a bit of an overreaction to give up
using the other Office apps (not to mention the whole OS) because yet
another Outlook bug has been found.
