Default fields

[jjz]

Ever since we upgraded our system to Vista, my Outlook folders default to a
view where the “To†field is included but not “Fromâ€. This is obviously
pretty useless as I’m always the “Toâ€.

I’ve been manually changing folders one by one, adding the From field and
deleting the To field, and once I change the folder, it cooperates. But is
there a way to change my default so that all folders have the From field but
not the To field, and so that new folders are automatically configured that
way?

I have about 500 folders, so it would take awhile to change each one by
hand, and I’m constantly creating new folders (which are using the same
frustrating default).

Thanks,

you may just need to reset the global views using the /cleanviews switch -
if not, use the method here to fix the view and apply it to all folders:
