Note After you log on Outlook successfully one time, the domain and user name are stored and retrieved with the messaging profile information that is stored in the Windows registry. The previous registry data is only used when there is no existing domain and user name in the messaging profile information. Therefore, the registry data from this hotfix is typically used only one time.
