Eliminate Reading Pane for *all* Folders

[Jeff V. Pulver]

Dear All:

In Outlook 2003 (11.6359.6408 - SP1) I turned on the reading pane (View |
Reading Pane | Right) and for all folders, it was turned on.

I then turned it off (View | Reading Pane | Off). The problem is that only
turns it off for the Folder I am in. How do I enter a single command to
turn the reading panes off for *all* Folders (i.e., reversing the turning on
for all Folders).

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jeff V. Pulver

you need to either do it in view, arrange by, customize, define views or
start outlook with the /nopreview switch.

Dear Ms. Poremsky:

Are you telling me that I turned on this feature with one command, and it
affected all of the folders. And to turn it off, I must enter that command
separately, for each folder (of which there are more than 100) or create a
special Start Up command, which is a workaround?

I am confused. Since I entered a single command and selected "Right" which
turned them on for all folders, why can I not enter the same single command
and select "Off" instead of "Right" and have it affect all of the folders.
That seems like a program bug which should have been fixed by now.

Sincerely,

Jeff V. Pulver
