To answer your other post, Outlook doesn't have a contacts window below the
folder list... see help, about for your version.
As for which is better, it really depends on *your* needs. Do you need a
simple email program or a full featured personal information manager that
does calendar, tasks and such. Outlook is better and more powerful, but it's
overkill for a large number of people.
To restore Outlook to the default, delete outcmd.dat, usually found as a
hidden file in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. You can easily access it by pasting
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address bar of your
browser or Windows Explorer. FAV or XML can also be deleted to restore the
Outlook bar/Navigation pane.

Hello, Diane
Is there a way of reestablishing default settings on the
layout of the outlook window?
Also, which do you think is better, Outlook Express or
Outlook?
Thank you.

I think you mean Outlook Express, not outlook... look on the Views menu -
select layout and choose contacts.

Hello, I was wondering if someone can tell me how to
restore default settings to the microsoft outlook window?
In other words, I used to have the "contacts" right
below "folder list", which were all to the left of my
messages in the inbox window.
I would like to put the contacts again below the folder
list. By mistake, I had pressed x and the contacts went
in another location.
Thank you in advance.
