I deleted the outcmd.dat file, and it came right back. I actually don't have Adobe installed at the moment, but there wasn't anything there about the SmartBoard software in my registry. The only thing listed was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Microsoft.VbaAddinForOutlook.1 and it's load behavior value was 9. I've looked through all the settings I can find in their software, and there isn't anything about not linking it to Outlook. I guess I can call the Smart Technologies people. It was irritating enough when Acrobat did it, but now this one has joined the "let's irritate Nell" bandwagon. I was hoping to find a fix for whoever decides to add to my toolbars without my permission next.
