Outlook /resettodobar is the correct switch to use.

I found the resolution to this problem.

Close Outlook, Goto Start\Run, type in outlook.exe /fixtodobar and hit enter. Outlook will restart and it should work.

This worked great on mine.

We just upgraded to Exchange 2007. I would not think this would have any relevance to the Todo Bar constantly loading, but it does not matter where I login, my Todo Bar is constantly loading. I tried to remove the XML file, I tried to remove all the Outlook files, nothing helps.
I have not had any users complain of this, it has only happened to me. Go figure. Anyone have any ideas?
It is not local profile specific.

Greg, Sure thing. It was mentioned in my previous post, which I forgot to link to. (edited and linked now). The path is C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, but for complete explanation and instructions please read the other post.

Very useful article, and I got all excited when I read that my problem would be finally solved. Any chance you could add a file path so we know where the file is? I’ve deleted the one that Search pulled up for me, but that was in a “Roaming” folder – and I don’t roam.
