| 75568 | 2002-09-01 20:42:00 | I recently installed Outlook 2002 and find an annoying problem with the appearance of the 'Outlook Today' screen. It s to do with dark gray bar third from the top containing - Personal Folders - Outlook Today. When I first open Outlook today the 'address bar' takes up the whole line and has to be moved over to the right to expose the 'Personal Folders' bar. I have to slide the address bar right each time Outlook is opened, it does not stay right by default. Is there any way of fixing this as its most annoying? Thanks Sergio |

| 75570 | 2002-09-01 22:59:00 | What method are you using to open Outlook? I've found that if you open Outlook from another program (eg Mailwasher) it opens with the address bar extended across the screen. This is due to the method these programs use to open Outlook. You can get the same result by typing in "Outlook:inbox" into your Internet Explorer address bar. However if you just open Outlook by using the Outlook icon on your desktop, it should just open normally. HTH Mike. |

| 75571 | 2002-09-01 23:38:00 | Thanks for the replies. I am opening Outlook in the normal way from the desktop. Not from any other program. Running Windows XP It is set to open Outlook Today when started. Yes, it appears it is not holding the 'last opened window' setting but I don't know how to change or correct this? Sergio |

| 75572 | 2002-09-02 02:18:00 | Try opening the program options (Tools > Options), and then select the "Other" tab. Click on the "Advanced Options" button under the General section, and tell Outlook to always open to the Inbox ("Startup in this folder: Inbox"). See if that helps. Mike. |

| 75573 | 2002-09-02 02:42:00 | Thanks Mike. The problem does not occur if Outlook is set to open in one of the other folders, like Inbox. But it does when set it to open in the Outlook Today folder. I really prefer to have it opening into Outlook Today rather than one of the other folders. |

| 75574 | 2002-09-02 03:49:00 | When closing Outlook, close it by using File, Exit and Log Off rather than the x in the top right corner. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 75575 | 2002-09-02 04:05:00 | Thanks Antmannz. Unfortunately your suggestions did not fix it either. Incidentially, there is no Log Off option in Outlook 2002, at least I couldnt find one. Its just File > Exit and you are out. | Sergio (928) | ||
