I found an article at Tech Republic that provides a way to globally turn off
the reading pane and the groups by.  I used on my computer to turn off the
groups by and it worked.  New folders, so far, have been created without the
groups by or reading pane.

Do you REALLY mean the PREVIEW pane...since there is no such thing. There is
a PREVIEW VIEW and then there is a READING PANE.

So first, the answer is no. There's no "turn off [whatever] for everything.
But what you CAN do is define a new view that has the Reading Pane turned
on/off and the Preview view set on/off or for unread only. Then be sure to
set that view to any group and start applying it as needed.

If anyone DOES know of a way to set it to all globally, please jump in cos'
I've never found that ability and would love it. So far, creating a special
view is the best I can do. 

Click View > Arrange By and go down to Define Views. Create your new view,
check to allow it to be applied to all and then apply as needed. The
view/reading options are under the OTHER SETTINGS option.

Note that I have a free video lesson on OL views here:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=571

The above doesn't show you exactly what you want to do...but it gets you
close to the understanding of how the views work. Next month, as a matter of
fact, I'll be explaining how to define and apply views. But assuming you
don't want to wait 2 weeks...check out the above, follow my directions
here...and give it a shot.

Good luck...

Is there a way to turn Preview Pane off globally? (I do not like Preview
Pane!)
