Default disable the grouping facility

just bought a new machine - it has outlook 2007 preloaded. I have hundreds
of sub folders in .pst files and want to globally disable the grouping
feature for these messages and any new folders that I might create in the
future. However, when looking in the microsoft library for how to do this,
it talks about the Office Customization Tool (OCT). I don't have that in
outlook or in Microsoft Office Tools. It is a real bugbear and when it
should be a simple matter to sort out!

Default disable the grouping facility

Change the default messages view;
View- Current View- Define Views...- select Messages- button Modify...-
button Other Settings...

To make sure all the folders are still in the default messages view, start
Outlook with the cleanviews switch;
Start- Run; outlook.exe /cleanviews
(note the space in the command)
