Removing preview

[bwarner]

I want to be able to delete messages in my Inbox before they are read, but when I move my mouse over messages, they seem to open. I know this because I am getting numerous messages with the w32.swen.a@mm virus and my anti virus program catches it as soon as the mouse moves over the message. Can I configure Outlook XP to not open messages unless I click (or double click) on them? Thanks.

Start Outlook.. Now, go to View and click on "Preview Pane" to disable it..

Hi bwarner

If you invoke outlook with the command line option '/nopreview' (without quotes) then the preview pane is disabled in all folders and the option is greyed out in view menu.

JockMullin,
How would I configure that command for use with ms outlook? I would like to make this a standard in our W2K image. We use Office 2000 with a few pcs running Office 2002 on an Enterprise network; my plan is to eliminate the preview pane option alltogether.
