Default Can't save layout settings like columns or 'disable preview pane'


"Kimmo" wrote in message

Symptom: all changes to layout settings are restored when exiting OE and
started again.

Primarily my intension was to disable the preview pane. But I tried other
layout settings like adding new columns or change the location of preview
pane. All changes that I do work well during the OE session is on, but
when I
exit OE and start it again, all changes are lost: preview pane is back
etc.
Regarding preview pane the flags in menu View-layout.. are really
restored.

I was using main identity and as per recommendation in other threads I
tried
creating new identity but same results. All other windows accounts in my
PC
have the same problem.

The security settings in OE is 'use retricted zone' and in IE settings
scripts are disabled.

Is there a registry entry that I could change for disabling the preview
pane
or at least see if had changed when I change settings in OE. I have a
feeling
that OE is not saving them at all but rather 'applied', which in Windows
programs usually means temporary change that last the session only.

My system is XP/SP2 but windows and OE language is not english. All
Windows
updates should be OK (Windows update works normally).

What can I do, except go for another email client program?
