The Outlook To-Do Bar is too cluttered
In Outlook 2003 and previous the Task Pad only listed my tasks. I also used flagging to mark some messages. Now in Outlook 2007 these are all combined in the To-Do Bar. How do I get the Task Pad back?
Well, that one is gone. Short from unflagging all your messages and using Color Categories instead to unclutter the To-Do Bar you can set a filter so the To-Do Bar will only show tasks;
Right click the “Arranged By:” column header in the To-Do Bar and choose Custom…-> Filter…-> tab Advanced
Here set the following criteria
Field: Message Class
Condition: contains
Value: task
Press the button “Add to List” to apply the filter.
