Default Uncheck all Outlook categories with "run script" rule

I'd like to use a "run script" rule that will uncheck all categories
on outlook messages, contacts, tasks, etc. I know there's a way to do
this with "ThisOutlookSession" vba code - any ideas? Thanks!

A rule would run automatically on incoming messages, no contacts or tasks.
Do you want to uncheck on all items in all folders or just selected items?

Basically you can write "" into one item's Categories property and then save
that item.

I'd like to be able to run the rule on existing messages manually and
have the ability to uncheck certain categories. No need to enable for
incoming messages. I'm not a programmer and the bits of code I've
seen posted don't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

I'd like it applied to all messages, not just selected.

Do you want to write the code on your own or are you looking for a
ready-to-use solution? If the latter please see my signatu You can
uncheck certain categories from all messages, contacts etc. in all folders
at once. (The demo allows one folder at a time.)

If you want to write it yourself please show your code so that we can have a
look what doesn't work.
