Error: This view is damaged. The default view will be used

Has anyone seen this before. I have a user with a new
install of Outlook. He has been able to send and receive
just fine. He opens up Outlook now and some of his
folders are un-available.
Folders = Deleted / Puplic folders / Favorite and a
couple others.

Try this -

CLose Outlook

Select Start | Run

Enter outlook.exe /CleanViews
(note the space between ".exe" and "/CleanViews"

Select OK

....any better?

We use Win 2000.
This worked without a hitch on my machine, but not the
machine in question. That gave me a error= Command
Line Argument is not valid, verify the swithc you are
useing.

Thanks

The only thing I can recommend is to double-check the spelling

Outlook.exe /CleanViews
