Reading panel

Hi Victoria

Although the Microsoft web site has the following quote:

... changes to the Reading Pane cannot be made globally and must be made to each folder individually.

you can default your Outlook to open with the Reading Pane OFF on all the folders. To do this:

Go to the properties of the Shortcut that is launching your Outlook.

In the Target line go to the of the command line and add " /nopreview" (after the word reecycle add space, Forward slash, nopreview). For example :

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle /nopreview

Since this works on a shortcut by by shortcut basis, you need to change this on all of them or have one that has no reading pane and another that does.

Hope this helps
