"upgrading" to 2007 is the stupidest thing I ever did. I should have
stayed illegal on my old employer's 2000, but noooo. I had to be one
of the good guys and buy a license from the new employer, who only had
2007. Grrr.

Outlook appears to be seriously UNcustomizable for my use. How do I
get tasks that have not "started" yet to not show in the To-Do pad or
whatever it's called in the lower right corner. Previous version only
showed items that had started and changed their color when they were
overdue. I have a recurring task every week that used to show up on
the list one at a time. Now I have a repetitive list of the same thing
that I have to hover over to see if it's the right time to check it
off. And then there's the reminder to turn my mattress every two
months, and it sits there, and sits there... I don't want to friggin
see it until I need to see it!

I have clicked and tweaked everything I can think of. If I give
something a start date, I don't want to see it until it has started!

Any help is appreciated.

If you right click and then add filter of anything that will not be found
i.e. from: "zzzzzzzzzzzz". As long as nothing is from "zzzzzzzzzzzz"
nothing will show

PS: I agree with you about the lack of custom ization
