When you create an appointment and then turn off "All Day Event" the Start
Time automatically starts at the beginning of the work day and follows 30 min
increments.

What bothers me is if I set the appointment to start time 4:00 PM and end
time 5:00 PM and then realize, it should be 3:00 PM start time to 5:00 PM
when I change the start time it automatically adjusts the End Time which is
REALLY annoying.  

Is there a way to tell Outlook not to auto-adjust the Start/End times when
you change one or the other?

Thanks.

Outlook will presume that you want an hour event since that is what you
first scheduled.  If you want a longer event, use the scheduling page and
drag the start time to an earlier time.

Well we all know what happens when you assume.

I did not, you did.

So the bottom line is to get your times in order and not change the
duration.

After all, a computer will only do what you tell it to do - if you set an
hour meeting and then change the start time for the meeting, it will create
another hour meeting at the earlier time.  It is not a mind reader, much as
some people presume it to be.
