Is it possible to change the default meeting reminder from 15 minutes to something else?

Re: Default Reminder
I have not managed to find a way to change the default reminder for all day appointments. this is a pain because the default behaviour is to set an alarm for 6AM the previous day, and since I synchronize my Outlook calendar to my mobile phone, this sometimes leads to disturbed sleep.

Re: Default Reminder
This default cannot be changed, despite thousands of requests from frustrated users.
From Set or remove reminders:
From Set or remove reminders:
(This is for Outlook 2007 but the same holds for other versions)For all-day events, the default reminder time is 18 hours in advance. Although you can't change the default for all of the all-day events you create, you can change the reminder time individually on each appointment.
Best wishes,

Re: Default Reminder
And it is a REALLY stupid default, who wants to be reminded at 6AM about something that happens a day later
