THANK YOU so much for this solution. Fortunately, your instructions do surface when you google “outlook 2007 new task default due date” — you must have been so frustrated when you started your quest and could not find any help from google. Thanks!

Score! I think the problem is that comprehensive options are way too confusing for people who refuse to learn how to use the software. I think those folks should use Macs. Microsoft should probably circumvent confusing idiots by defaulting to the “simpleton” mode, and then allowing access to advanced functions with a “power user” mode.

Thanks Man, you rock!

Microsoft isn't even adhering to their own interface design specifications of keeping the user interface settings under "Tools > Options" or the View menu. Microsoft, take a hint: People are having so much trouble with the new interface that a whole new software market has popped up that changes the Word 2007 interface back into the 2003 interface. I do not endorse or advise the purchase or use of this software, nor do I know how well it works, but Addintools is just one of several companies making just such a plugin for Office 2007.

Thank you so much for finding and publishing this solution. I’m a heavy user of the task list and after moving to OL2007 having to manually remove the nasty default due date for each task really drove me crazy. You saved my (Outlook-)live.
