Most are documented in the latest administrative template downloads from the Office Resource Kit online. However, virtually all those options are stored in the Windows registry and are read only when Outlook starts. Changing the registry value while Outlook is running does not change the value that Outlook is using. Therefore, default options are normally set with the Custom Maintenance Wizard from the ORK.
