Hi there
I recently installed Out 2000 on Windows XP Pro, and everything works OK
except when I try to Customize the Personal folders view, the screen will
not open.
Any suggestions?

Good day gentlemen.

Your problem is associated with a update patch for IE 6.0.
If you are not afraid to modify your registry follow the
instructions at the following link:

Have a great day.

Here is yet a better solution:

WORKAROUND

Warning This article contains instructions to add a DWORD
value in the registry. When you add the DWORD value, it
partially disables the Critical Update 813489 for Internet
Explorer. After you add the DWORD value, you can
customized Outlook Today, but you will be vulnerable to an
information-disclosure vulnerability that is related to
the way that Internet Explorer handles encoded characters
in a Web address (a Uniform Resource Locator [URL]). For
more information about this vulnerability, see the "More
Information" section of this article. Microsoft recommends
that after you have customized Outlook Today, you remove
the DWORD value, or you disable the DWORD value by setting
it to 0 to help protect your computer from this
vulnerability.

To work around this problem, partially disable the
Critical Update 813489 for Internet Explorer, customize
Outlook Today, and then enable the Critical Update 813489
for Internet Explorer.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you
can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. To do
this, follow these steps:

Quit Outlook 2000.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and
then click OK.

Locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Application Compatibility

Click Edit, click New, and then click DWORD Value.

Type Outlook.exe, and then press ENTER. This creates a new
DWORD value named Outlook.exe.

With the new Outlook.exe DWORD value selected, click Edit,
and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.

Start Outlook 2000, and then go to the Outlook Today view.
Click Customize Outlook Today, and then customize the view
as necessary.

Repeat steps 1 through 8. When you do step 8, set the
Outlook.exe DWORD value to 0 instead of 1.

Note After you set the Outlook.exe DWORD value to 1 to
partially disable the Critical Update 813489 for Internet
Explorer, your computer is temporarily vulnerable to the
vulnerability that is described in the "More Information"
section of this article. When you use the Microsoft
Baseline Security Analyzer tool (MBSA) to scan your
computer for vulnerabilities, the MBSA Tool will not
detect that the Critical Update 813489 for Internet
Explorer has been partially disabled. For additional
information about the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
tool (MBSA), click the following article number to view

Thanks Tony
When I go to the link, it refers in the registry to Office 11.0. I only
show 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0

8.0 is Outlook 97/98. 9.0 is Outlook 2000. 10.0 is Outlook 2002. 11.0 is
Outlook 2003. Use the highest number you have.
