Sorry to bring up such a seemingly simple question, but I can't for the life of me find out how to change this back. In the Outlook 2007 To-Do bar, the default task view is the "To-Do" folder. Somehow I managed to change the view to the "Simple List" view, and now I'm stuck with it. I don't think it's a software bug or anything, just an options/settings location.

Does anybody know how to change this?
Thanks!

Hi!

That shrinks/expands the todo bar normally.

I just uninstalled Office and reinstalled it, and it's still like showing the Simple List task view instead of the To-Do view. We do use Exchange at my workplace, and this is office Enterprise - forgot to list that earlier.

No, that just toggles the tasks to be shown in the To-Do bar, but it still has the different view.

Thanks!

Aha! I was googling around again just now and found a fix. "Start > Run > Outlook.exe /cleanviews" resets it all to default. The filter for showing only today has changed, and I'm assuming any other filter settings, etc. have also changed, but at least now I can organize myself again.

Thanks so much for looking and answering, Scott! This can be marked closed.

Feel sure 2007 has similar options.
