BeerFan Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 What do you mean by "original view"? Are you talking about having the message list above the Preview Pane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSemple3 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 What do you mean by "original view"? Are you talking about having the message list above the Preview Pane? More like the complete default view like I posted in the first post (the link I posted) i.e. the first time you install windows live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Veteran Posted October 18, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 18, 2011 The only main difference I see is the ribbon. Double-click any of the ribbon tabs and it will open again. JSemple3 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSemple3 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 The only main difference I see is the ribbon. Double-click any of the ribbon tabs and it will open again. Something so simple..............I feel like a complete DUH! Note to self though: Do not let a 8 month old nephew play about with my keyboard in future!

Under view: Make sure calendar pane, quick views and status bar are selected. Deselect compact shortcuts. Under message list select automatic. Under reading pane select right of the message list and also tick show message header. Pretty sure thats the defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
