I use iGoogle for my personal home page. Sometimes, when I sign off, I clear out my cookies and when I sign on again I have to retype my sign in information. If I don’t clear out my cookies, I have no problem. It’s no big thing, but it’s irritating. Is there some way to keep my home page with out having to sign in each time??? Mike

Thanks for the tip!

Is it possible to customize the view in this folder? I use Outlook for work stuff including the To-Do bar which I have turned on. But when I click on iGoogle, I’d like to not see the To-Do bar since it just takes up space. Any way to eliminate from there without eliminating it from other views?

What a great site! I’m loving it here!

Hmmm, it worked great for me when I was using xp & outlook 2003 on our business system. After upgrading (?) to vista & outlook 2007, a script error rears its ugly mug. I usually have to click through 3 script error screens just to view the page. When I move to another page, it happens all over again. ???

Why bother creating the folder? You can just click on the mailbox name and set the home page there.

Thanks for the tip.

However, once the page is displayed in Outlook, when I click on an iGoogle tab, I get a 403 Forbidden message:”Your client does not have permission to get URL /ig/setp?et=xwm-TCyj&brand=&bmod=&source=&pid=&ap=&prefid=&url=outlook%3AiGoogle&ct=1 from this server”

If I click on the iGoogle folder in the folder tree, the new tab shows up fine. Any ideas? Is that url parameter indicating that it’s trying to fetch an object of type “outlook”?

Great tip – I also had heard about it before, but when I saw the posting, just had to put google in my outlook as I’m there most of the day!
