Has anyone seen a script to expand all the folders upon Outlook opening?
Every time I start the computer and then open Outlook, I have to expand all
the folders manually. I've found that the system I use is the best for me
except that it requires me to do this. Was hoping to automate it. I'd
rather do one mouse click to give permission for scripts to work than to
continue expanding as if I have to reboot, I still have to go back and
expand them once again. Yet having them all as separate folders with no
nesting creates other issues that I won't go into since it's not strictly
necessary to this thread. Was hoping someone knew something that would work
or could direct me to a URL that has one.

D Thanks!

The workaround is to make each folder once the current one. It's quite funny
and may take some time:

Strange, I didn't find it funny. In actuality, it's amazing how I thought
that it might take something like this. I've written macros in AI (AutoIt)
for years that play our keystrokes, so this behaviour isn't unfamiliar to
me. Thanks for this, this will make life easier. On the one hand, we need
nested folders to make life easier but filing is a pane because O2K doesn't
seem to support a way to have the folders expand on startup.

But that does leave me with a question, the VB script on that page above is
this:
************************************************** *******
Private Sub Application_Startup()
ExpandAllFolders
End Sub

Private Sub ExpandAllFolders()
On Error Resume Next
Dim F As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Ns As Outlook.NameSpace

Set Ns = Application.GetNamespace("Mapi")

Set F = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

LoopFolders Ns.Folders, True
DoEvents

Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = F
End Sub

Private Sub LoopFolders(Folders As Outlook.Folders, _
ByVal bRecursive As Boolean _
)
Dim F As Outlook.MAPIFolder

For Each F In Folders
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = F
DoEvents

If bRecursive Then
If F.Folders.Count Then
LoopFolders F.Folders, bRecursive
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
************************************************** *******The _only_ drawback
is that it expands everything, even what's in the Public Folders.Is there a
way to limit the above to just expand what's in our own Outlook Today
section?Thanks! -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP

(That should be "pain" and not "pane", btw ...)

Is there any way to limit the macro? It's still going 5 mins later. It
took a second or two to expand my dozens of folders, but it's taking a super
forever to expand all the ones if the Public Folders which aren't mine,
even.

Thanks.
