Default Auto-Delete Task Items

I would like to delete a task when it's complete. I don't want go into each
task to delete it. I want it click once and it's gone. I do not want to keep
complete items taking up un-necessary space. How do I get Outlook to delete,
completely delete ALL finished tasks automatically? I know there's no setting
for this, but I was wondering if there were steps to create a rule to
accomplish this. I use Outlook 2007 and when I click on Tools, Rules ..., I
get a wizard and no way to start with a totally blank rule set so I can
select tasks and not messages. Any help for this?

Default Auto-Delete Task Items

Instead of marking the item as complete, press the Delete button. You can
even do this in the Reminders window.
