Default Column width in activities view for a contact

I can change the column width of each column in the Activities view for each
contact. But each time I re-view the activities view, the column width
changes again. (the 'in folder' column become very large (132.8 character)).
I tried by changing the 'specific width' for each column & by 'best fit'. It
works but if I close and re-open the view, the old column appear again.
I have this problem since I installed Skylook (Skype)
Any idea?

If you start Outlook in safe mode, does it work correctly then? Skype is
known to cause issues in Outlook.

Ahhh... Skype. If /cleanviews doesn't help, you'll probably need to either
live with it or get rid of skype. Or use search folders or WDS or a 3rd
party search engine.

I also have Skype and may have found a way round the problem - please see my
post in thread "Contact All Activities View" started by simmonsj on June 30
2009.
