Reading panel

Dear trainer,

Please can you tell me if it is possible to remove the reading panel from all folders at once, rather than removing it from each individual folder when selected?

I reset an option to default on a colleagues PC and it has unfortunately reset a lot of other things.

Thank you very much.

RE: 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

Carlos

RE: Reading panel

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for responding.

Unfortunately This doesn't seem to work on the PST folders or sub-folders.

Can something else be done to fix this?

RE: Reading panel

Hi Victoria

As mentioned earlier Microsoft states that "changes to the Reading Pane cannot be made globally and must be made to each folder individually".

This means that nay folder that cannot be changed automatically with the instruction I gave you needs to be changed manually.

Regards

Carlos
