Locking Outlook folder tree

The number of times I've accidentally dragged a folder from the Outlook
Folder List into another folder and then having to wait while exchange copies
it back to the original location is stupid!

I doubt it's just me =) It's extemely easy to do and I'd like to see a
simple right click option to Lock/Unlock the folder list.

A option to set the default to Lock when opening outlook would be immensely
helpful

Strange....your meant to be an MVP but not providing a constructive reply.

Your quote unfortunately doesn't fit the bill, seeing as it would be a
simple solution to implement.
 
The simple solution is to stop doing it. The most complex one is to program
behavior barriers, which is contrary to good programming.

You are extremely narrow-minded!

Let me point out a good example of where programming fixed what you call
"behavioral problems".

Windows 2000 used to have shared folder permissions default to full control.
This caused issues where administrators would tend to forgot this *note
behaviour problem there!* and there would be occasions where staff would have
too much access. Someone would delete a file and then the admin would get in
trouble.

Windows 2003 came along and the default is now with restricted access.
Problem sovled.

I'd like to see your MVP revoked, as it's clear you can't provide
constructive answers to simple suggestions.
