Just upgraded OL XP >> 2003: can I change these?

[Ed]

I've just been upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003, so I'm trying to get
a handle on how things work now. In Outlook, can I:
-- have attachments show as icons in the message body, vs in their own top
field?
-- get rid of the Favorite Folders window and just have the All Mail Folders
window?

Thanks.

You might first want to asertain whether you are stile using the origonal
..pst, if so you might want to create a new, default, OL2003 format pst

It looks like it's the original .pst file - the creation date is last year.
So perhaps I copy that to a different location, then delete it and let OL
create a new one? How will that allow me to change the way attachments and
the Folders window appear?

When you compose messages in Rich Text format (which only another Outlook
will be able to read), attachments will show in the body. When you use HTML
or Plain text, attachments will appear in an Attachments line below the
subject.

Folders window?

Use a different view.

Use a different view.

I found that if I clicked the All Folders icon instead of the Mail icon, I
got a more familiar looking Folders view.
