Outlook registry settings not taking effect / refresh Outlook programmatically

I'm trying to change Outlooks reminders/toast notifications programmatically to avoid interferences while users are in critical stages of working on my application.

While I know the relevant keys:

Outlook\preferences - NewmailDesktopAlerts
Outlook\options\Reminders - Type

Changing the setting in Outlook updates the keys and takes effect. Changing the registry values doesn't take effect.

I'm looking for a way to "HUP" Outlook/cause it to re-read the registry without closing it (and all subsequent windows the user may have opened). Another option would be to automate opening the Options dialog but I haven't succeeded with that either.

Outlook reads there options on startup only. Nothing you can do about that.
