I''ve been experienceing a periodic and somewhat inconsistant problem
whereby all of the settings I establish under the Organize" feature
will suddenly just dissapear. For example, all color-coding of the
inbox will dissapear and everything will revert back to black text on a
white background.

I'm running Office Outlook 2003 SP2. Does anyone know where these
settings are stored so that I could restore them if they disappear
again? I had though they would be tied to the ".rwz" file but as there
is no such file on the system this can not be the answer.

Many thanks, -Paco

1. The .rwz file is only in older versions and has nothing to do with
organize - it is where rules were stored.

2. Try Detect and Repair.

organize customizes the selected view and either you are changing the view,
resetting it, or it's getting deleted.

Detect and repair does not in any way restore customized "organize"
parameters... but the view andgle is interesting... Are you saying
that if I saved the current view after using the Orginaze function that
I could simply call back that customized view and regain all of the
color-coding policies?

Still grateful... thanks, -Paco

use the copy view option to save it and yes, you can restore it as long as
you don't use the cleanviews switch.
