How do I turn off reading pane Office 2003 PERMANENTLY for ALL fol

I installed Outlook in MS Office 2003 Teacher edition and brought my email
messages over from another computer. Now it forces me to turn off the reading
pane for emails in my MANY folders one folder at a time. How can I make the
"OFF" position the default position so that I don't have to turn it off every
time I open a folder. I have many, many folders.

If you want to start with no reading pane anywhere, you can start the program
with a command line switch:

Outlook.exe /nopreview

Outlook Help has information about other command line switches and how to
use them. Type "command line switches" to find the topic or go to

Thank you, Athena, I will try it. But in my previous installation ofOffice
2003 I did not have this problem. I could go to the menu and just turn the
reading pane off and from then on I would not see it in any folder that I
opened. What do you think has changed that now requires a "swtich" to achieve
this result?

Nope. Outlook 2003 has per-folder views. You can modify the default
Messages view, however, to have the Reading Pane off by default. See the
techniques he
