The Tasks Folder is far more flexible. Go there, turn on the Advanced
Toolbar and in the Current View window, select Define View. Set it to show
the fields you want and filter according to your criteria. If you mess it
up, you can edit the view you made till you have it the way you want.
Do the same in the To Do bar by right clicking on it's heading column, then
selecting customise current view.
