/!\ IMPORTANT NOTICE /!\

Since M$ removed the ability for Mail & Calendar to work entirely with the latest version, use that application at your own risk.
Long live Mail & Calendar. A good app that died for a shitty webview app.

========================================

"Outlook" (New) permanent removal script
========================================
This script prevents the Outlook (new) app from installing by installing a custom blank app with the same package id as the original one, thus making it´s installation fail. To do this, it enables temporarily the developer mode via registry and registers the modified New Outlook manifest as an unpacked Appx package.
You can also remove the blank app and allowing New Outlook from installing again.

How to use it?
==============
1. Unpack the ZIP file (if you didn´t already)
2. Run the outlook.bat batch file as an Admin
3. Use the menu to remove or restore New Outlook
4. DONE! You can now remove the files

How exactly does it work?
=========================

Removal:

1. Copies the AppxManifest.xml to the \Users folder
2. Enables developer mode temporarily (i.e. sideloading apps) via registry
3. Uninstalls the New Outlook (if present)
4. Installs the fake one (spoofer)

Restoring:

1. Removes the AppxManifest.xml to the \Users folder
2. Enables developer mode temporarily (i.e. sideloading apps) via registry
3. Removing the fake package

You MUST restart you PC once you restored New Outlook.
To get New Outlook working again, just let it download from Mail & Calendar or Outlook Classic
