When I create a new task or event an alarm is automatically assigned to the item, how do I stop this?

To prevent alarms from being automatically assigned to all new tasks or events please change the following settings.

Tasks-please go into the Informant settings, view settings, task view, and move the default alarm slider to the off position.

Events-please go into the Informant settings, view settings, calendar view, and move the default alarm slider to the off position.

This change will prevent the default alarms from being applied to new items.
