VBScript to remove Outlook signatures

Joseph Carew · External Since: Sep 18, 2006 Posts: 2

Hi there

I have just purchased a tool to add a signature to all outgoing emails.

The problem is the majority of users already have a signature set
within their outlook, I remember seeing a VBScript a while ago that
removed the users outlook signature but am unable to find it. I am
using a combination of OutlookXP and 2003.

If anyone knows where I can find this script or another way of
accomplishing this I would be very thankful.

regards

Joe

Asking in news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
might be a better place. I've set the followup to that group.

Signature files for Outlook 2003 reside in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures folder. Delete them and the user will have no more signatures, but they may get an error if they had default signatures set.

To make Outlook to use a particular signature (or none) with all accounts, you can use a script like that at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=821
