Disable Show in Group for all folders ?

[Stuart Mackie [MCP, MSP]]

Hi. I am having some problems disabling 'Show In Groups' on all folders.
At the minute I have 40+ Inbox folders, and after inporting my .pst file
into Outlook 2003, all the folders have Show In Groups enabled. It appears
as though 'Show In groups' is not part of the Define View options and it
sites outside those settings.

Is it possible to disable it without having to manually go through each
folder ?

Unfortunately it doesnt look like you are able to do multiple folders at
one time. Here is where you would turn them on/off individually:
By default, the Show in Groups feature is turned on for all Outlook 2003
folders. To turn on the Show in Groups feature for your Inbox, follow
these steps:
1. Start Outlook 2003.
2. In the left pane, click your "Inbox" folder.
3. On the "View" menu, point to "Arrange By", and then click to select
the "Show in Groups" check box.


Currently, you cannot turn on or turn off the Show in Groups feature for
multiple folders at the same time. You must turn on the Show in Groups
feature for each folder.

Note If you want to reset Outlook 2003 to the default view configuration,
use the /cleanviews switch when you start Outlook 2003.
