Trying to Create Reg Key to Remove RSS from Outlook (2010)

So I am trying to create the reg key but every time I do, it just gives me 0x000000 (1) or something similar.

How can I change the 00000 to say "Disable"?

 

It's a lot of faff for me to simply remove the RSS Feeds folder from Outlook 2010, but it would be good to learn a bit more.

 

Thanks :)

did you make sure it was a Dword Var and not something else?

Are you trying to remove the folder itself? That site says the reg keys won't do it.

This turns off the RSS capability but does not remove the RSS folder from your message store. Personal folders created after you enable this registry value will not include the RSS folder; however, you will not be able to delete existing RSS folders using the Outlook UI. You?ll need to use a MAPI editor, such as MFCMAPI Editor or Outlook Spy, to hide or delete the folder.

You might need to use the MAPI editor methods described further below the registry modifications (Delete the RSS folder using MFCMAPI).
