outlook 'other calendars' section   

Hi ,
When open a persons shared calendar, it is sometimes added to outlooks other 
calendars.  Is there anyway of either:
i- preventing this
ii- accessing the contacts in the 'other calendars', so that i can remove 
the people im adding.

if neighter of these are possible then could someone tell me what the limit 
on the 'other calendars' list is.  i.e. not how many can be viewed at once, 
but how many can be in the list?

thank you. please reply asap. ive got very short deadline.

 Try regmon (sysinternals.com) -- on my PC, the following registry 
entries change:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows 
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\danielm\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676

 There's subkeys under there, and the "Identity Eid" key in the first 
subkey matches the ENTRYID for the person whose calendar I opened most 
recently.

 If I delete all the subkeys and restart Outlook, the "other users 
folders" list... gets recreated. Now the subkeys are called 5,6,7,8 
rather than 1,2,3,4. Deleting that key and restarting, it just gets 
recreated. (and it's the same in all profiles).

 I'd suggest poking around with mfcmapi/mdbview to see if any messages 
get created when you open another user's folder; nothing is popping out 
at me after poking around a bit, so I'd guess you'll need an advise sink 
or something to watch the whole store. (though you can easily check if 
it's mailbox-based or registry-based by logging into a different PC with 
the same mailbox -- if the 'other user's calendars' list comes with you, 
then it's stored in the mailbox. If it doesn't, then it's stored in the 
registry).

 Good luck,
