OK so just to say I looked for the file under the program files directory and it is still there: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MLCFG32.CPL" And if you double click it, you can still configure outlook 2019 OK I will look into restoring it in the registry

Not on 64 bit Windows 10, it should be here: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls\ There should be a key called: [b]mlcfg32.cpl[/b] pointing to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MLCFG32.CPL [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/clsid5.png]Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls[/img] No quotes or it won't work.
