I do not like the Reading Pane view in Outlook 2003 (XP) and one
should be able to turn it off globally rather than in each folder. I
have a lot of folders both current and archived and this is a real
pain to do for everyone!!
There are two ways to turn it off globally. The first is to add the
/nopreview command line switch to Outlook when you start it. Create a
shortcut that says:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /nopreview
(including the quotes and spaces). This will not only remove the display
for the Reading Pane, but also remove it from the View menu.
The other method, which will leave you the ability to turn it on if you
want, is similar to the method found in
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm . Just modify the Reading
Pane option instead of the Grouping option.
