http://www.pt.lu/comnet/desc/regclean.html for example of from download.com.com Try to use Google
ragclean if very automatic tool for removing unnecessary registry entries. You know that stuff what is left by wrong uninstalation and by running windows.
Regcleaner is another utility that is nice for uninstaling and record of install.
I would recommend to get regclean for start and then other utils like Regcleaner and Installwatch pro.
If she didn't delete Windows/aplications data/identies/, then there is high chance that her old inbox is still here. you might try to find ther right file by F3 "inbox.dbx" and look at date.

She might be fine. You might consider to disable download of ActiveX controls in IE to increase security.

In outlook go to file > import > messages > chose program > import mail from directory. Do you remmember that directory above?
If you think that file is the right one you could do above procedure. If you will be wrong you'll have a lots of duplicate files in your inbox.

when I install office the one thing I make sure si that I don't install microsoft outlook
well, I haven't read the whole thread (obviously) and am not sure what yuo are trying to do
I would reccomend to your lady, however, to use outlook express in the future (if she wants to use a common decent program)

what I seem to remember doing before (years ago) in the outlook from office 97 is creating folders and than copying/pasting in my old files over the new folders
you can try that (as long as you have the old files)

it is part of internet explorer
it gets absorbed into outlook if you have it (or outlook works with it or something)
it is far better to not install outlook, and just install the outlook express that comes with internet explorer

Just Microsoft Outlook. But her old messages and adress book and all got lost when she changed that one file that had her husband's name on it... |
if she did not create other folders that might be it
rename it to old.dbx
create a folder in outlook (or outlook express) called old.dbx
than copy your renamed inbox.dbx over it
there might be afew other issues too (I seem to remember two files with every folder)
sorry, it has been a _long_ time since I messed with Outlook
