Thread: Avoid accidentally sending messages

The [Ctrll+[Enterl key combination might be practical for sending messages, but by inadvertently pressing the combination while writing, you immediately send an unfinished draft without any warning. This key combination can be turned off using a nifty trick. Open up the registry using 'Start I Run I regedit' and click OK. In the Registry editor. navigate to the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Softwa re\Po I i cies\M i crosoft\Office' key. If the subkey 'Office' is missing, create it with the command 'Edit
I New I Key'. Depending on the program version, the next subkey is called '100' for Outlook XP, '11.0' for Outlook 2003 or '12.0' for Outlook.



2007. Next, switch to the 'Outlook\ Disa bledSho rtcut KeysC heck Boxes' subkey. You might have to create this subkey as well, using the method described above.
Now click in the right panel of the Registry editor window and select 'Edit I New I String'. Type 'CtrIEnter' and press Enter. To edit, double click the new entry. Enter '13.8' as the value and confirm with 'OK'. Exit the Registry editor. Now, on restarting Outlook, you will notice that the [Ctrl]+[Enter] key combination for directly sending messages is deactivated.
