what is showing is Mail (folders) Inbox and to-do bar. The to do has two
months at the top in calendar form, and the to do list at the bottom.

It might be easier to go back to default settings (if I knew how).

Try starting Outlook once with the /resettodobar command switch and then the
/resetnavpane command switch. You might be able to do both at once. It
wouldn't hurt to try the /cleanfreebusy switch as well.
