Default Folders resorted order themselves - HELP

Outlook 2003 on Windows XP SP3

My folders have be resorted in a blanket fashion into Groups and by
attachments - I didn't not do this. It just happened after I had accessed one
of my archive folders and searched for the word web in my archive folder.
(Thought I's say this in case relevant)

Any ideas why it happened / and how to reset them all back

Thanks

Juliet

You probably modified your default Messages view. You can reset it via;
View- Arrange By- Current View- Define Views...

Another way to go would be to reset all your views in Outlook via;
Start- Run; outlook.exe /cleanviews
(note the space in the command)

When I do the first ooption - it only resets the folder I am currently
viewing - is that correct.

The Define Views command allows resetting the default views. The View Arrange
ByCurrent ViewCustomize Current ViewReset Current View path resets the
current folder.
