Outlook 2013 will not save Compact Navigation Option setting

We have started upgrading some of the machines in our office from Office 2010 to 2013, (win7 and win 8 machines). I have found that Outlook will not save the selection of "compact navigation" in the "Folder Pane/Options" settings. I
have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall of office 2013, resetting cleanviews, profile, etc. I cannot get it to save this setting. It always goes back to the extra large "Mail, Calendar, People, tasks" navigation. Any ideas? This is happening on
muiltiple machines that we have upgraded from Office 2010. 

Copying answer from similarly asked question:
FOR THE FIRST STRING (To keep a compact navigation pane):
Press the START button and type in "regedit"
On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options]
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>KEY and name it WunderBar. Make sure you have the new key selected.
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact. Make sure you select it.
Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 00000001
FOR THE SECOND STRING (To modify the order of the navigation items):
With regedit still open.
On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences]
Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>String Value and name it ModuleOrderAB. Make sure you select it.
Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Adjusting the order of the numbers will adjust the order they appear in. For instance in my case I wanted NOTES to show up fourth so my string is 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9.

  • Outlook 2013 will not connect to specific networks outside the office

    Outlook 2013.  I can connect to any Wi-Fi network I have attempted...but Outlook 2013 will not connect to my home network.  I have tried clearing the dns cache as well as re-creating the account.  Outlook works fine at the office, fine at
    hotels, fine at restaurants, but won't connect at my house using either a wired or Wi-Fi connection.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to connect the Outlook 2013 from outside the office, please follow these steps: -
    This is usually the result of authentication issues. In order to prevent strangers from using their
    SMTP server to send spam, many ISPs require users to authenticate when they try to send email while accessing the server from outside the network. In many cases, users will also need to use a different
    port number and may need to use SSL.
    To check or change the outgoing server authentication, you need to open the
    Account setting dialog. In Outlook 2013, this is on the
    File tab.
    Click on the email account, then click the
    More Settings dialog and select the Outgoing server tab to check the authentication settings.
    Enable
    My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select
    Use the same settings as my incoming mail server. These settings will often work both at home and when travelling.
    You will also want to check the port and
    SSL settings on the Advanced tab. Commonly used port number are
    587, 465, and 1025 but if these don’t work, you will need to check your mail providers support pages for the correct port number. You may also need to select
    SSL or Auto for encrypted connections, again, this information should be on your mail providers support website.
    Note: - Once you make these changes, you should be able to send email from home.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Outlook 2013 will not start up

    Outlook 2013 Will not start. Get the following message:
    "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook.  Cannot open the Outlook window.  The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."
    We have Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium edition.  We are using an exchange server for email.  We have confirmed that the email has been set up correctly and we do know that Microsoft was able to fix it once.  After they left the remote

    Microsoft did tell us it was an Outlook software issue. 

    Hi,
    Please check if Outlook can start with the switch "/resetnavpane":
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If this issue persists, we need to create a new profile to setup the account, then test if this issue still exists:

  • Outlook 2013 will not open correctly

    So I have just installed Office 2013 on a new install of Windows 7 as part of some evaluation work, my issue is when I open Outlook 2013, I get one, sometimes two blank windows with the title WORD either infront or sometimes behind the outlook window, and
    outlook doesn't display the preview of the email correctly. I have tried a repair option but that didn't help.
    I also looked in task manager and sure enough along with Outlook there are two instances of word, these all close if I exit outlook
    What I have found is if I have outlook full screen, the two word windows open infront of the outlook GUI, I can hit the X to close those and then I see outlook but the preview screen is not working, I have to open the email to see the body. If I put outlook
    in window mode (not max full screen) the two outlook windows open behind and I do get the preview screen and can not close them with the x button...

    HI
    I have the same issue with Office 2013 Outlook 2013, but with W8, Outlook crasjes after starting upp.(Same problem with Lync 2013)
    After investigating, I found out that the driver to Matrox M9138, the WDM one, was causing this. I found out, if I used the std driver in win8, Outlook worked. A soon as I uppdated to 4.03.00.147
    WDDM NoWHQL W8 Beta, Outlook 2013 krasjet.
    Without the Matrox 4.03 xxx drivers, I can't use the 2 other screens, so this is not a option.
    It seems that its not the power desk app that is the issue, but the drivers....
    Not sure if this is something that must be solved in the Matrox driver, or Outlook 2013.
    My solution for this problem, was to dropp Office 2013, and  for 2010.....
    I hope this helps you guys to find a solution to this problem..... 
    I just came aware of that, the Matrox driver is in Beta... maybe the will solve this the next driver(been waiting since dec 2012)

  • Search within Outlook 2013 will not search subject unless i specify "subject:()"

    I am having an issue with Outlook 2013 where if I search for lets say "computer" and I have a message with the word "computer" in the subject line, it does not find it. If i search for "subject:(computer)" then it finds it.
    It's as if keyword searching isn't working but if I specify where I want it to search it works. I tried doing it on a computer that did not have any Office updates and it works as it should so I have a feeling that it must be an update that changed the functionality.
    Is anyone aware of this issue?

    Hi,
    Please try to delete and rebuild index to check the result. To do this, click in the Search box, under
    SEARCH tab, click Search Tools > Search Options > Indexing Options >
    Advanced button > Click Rebuild button. Restart Outlook to check the result.
    If problem persists, we can also try to run a repair of your Office installation to check the result, To do this, please refer:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
    Please let me know the result.

    I tried rebuilding the index and doing an office repair but neither helped. I tried it on another computer and had the same issue. Only place I get it to work is when no office updates have been installed. I am not sure when this stopped working so I cannot
    pinpoint which update might have caused it.

  • HELP Please!!! Outlook 2013 will NOT remember credentials

    Good morning all,
    Can someone offer some assistance please, I have a stand alone computer, I use Outlook 2013. Just two days ago Outlook would not remember my credentials. So, here is what I have done so far...oh this is for EXCHANGE
    1. I deleted all the credentials in the credential manager
    2. I deleted the EXCHANGE profile
    3. I reset the profile PW on the exchange servers
    However, NONE of this works. Where is the information for the credentials stored so in the registry...or if someone has a suggestion that might help, I welcome the assistance.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    It seems Outlook keeps prompting for password? Make sure you have not ticked this option below:
    FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> E-mail tab, double click on the account name -> More Settings -> Security tab -> Always prompt for logon credentials.
    As it is a standalone computer, I suggest you configure Outlook Anywhere use NTLM Authentication:
    FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> E-mail tab, double click on the account name -> More Settings -> Connection tab -> Tick Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP, then click Exchange Proxy Settings button -> Under Proxy
    authentication settings, select NTLM Authentication -> OK.
    Using NTLM Authentication can significantly reduce the number of password prompts.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Outlook 2013 will not Quick Print a PDF attachment on a Windows 8.1 computer

    LS,
    One of my customers has a Windows 8.1 Computer, Internet Explorer, Office 2013 and Acrobat reader XI (all updated, latest version, etc.).
    Whenever my customer gets a email in his outlook with a PDF attachment, he cannot use Quick Print in the menu to print the attachment.
    When he does this, simply nothing happens, no error, no nothing and the printer doesn't print. Any other type of attachment appears not to be a problem.
    If I use a different program to open the PDF than with a little work around I can open the PDF and than print it.
    Of course my customer would prefer to use Adobe reader.
    Do you have a solution for this problem??
    Kind regards,
    Clemens Linders

    I read somewhere that disabling hardware rendering in Internet Explorer could help with a problem like I had with this customer. And also I read somewhere that you can disable some protection security in PDF.
    So I did these two things and I thought.... Yes, this is it. I could now print emails that have a PDF attachment.
    Unfortunately, my customer called me yesterday and sys he has still got the same problem when trying to print emails that have multiple PDF attachments.
    I am running out of ideas, does anybody have an idea how to fix this??
    Kind regards,
    Clemens Linders

  • FireFox will not save passwords even when set up to do so.

    Even thought I've foillowed all the instructions for saving password FireFox does not ask to nor does it save my passwords.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Help! After upgrading to Firefox 8, will not save my tabs from previous session, or any Tools - Options! I have read everything I can find about it in Help.

    It opens the same 3 stupid windows every time: the Firefox Google page, the upgraded Welcome page, and Amazon wish list upgrade page. This while my home page is set to msn.com or blank! I tried every method mentioned in Help that I could find, including the corrupt dll file and deleting Firefox and reinstalling it. Still, same problem. I have checked and rechecked all my browsing, history and cookie settings, etc. but cannot find any solution. I am not in private browsing, and I accept all cookies. It also does not save my Tools-Options-Tabs-When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately. This is really disappointing. Can someone please help??

    Under Options->General->Startup->When Firefox starts->Change this from "Show my home page" to "show my windows and tabs from last time". It works for me, hope this will help you as well.

  • OSX 10.7.4. will not save ANY of my preferences (system or application -- Safari, Office, etc.)

    I am running System OSX 10.7.4 on three different MacBooks.  It will not save any of my preferences (system or application based), passwords, log-ins and keychain. Even Safari did not save imported bookmarks.  I am running Office For Mac 2011 (v 14.2.1) and Outlook will work for a day or two and then I get a rebuild database error message, losing everything.  Word, et all, will not save any preferences, not even recent files.
    I did a full erase and clean system reinstall and a fresh install of Office. This problem occurs on all 3 of my MacBook, 2- MacBook Pro’s and a MacAir.  One of the MacBook Pro’s is BRAND NEW. 
    Any ideas, any fixes out there?

    I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
    Macbook air      11-inch, Late 2010
                            4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Software           Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
    No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
    For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
    I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
    On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
    On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
    I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
    helpppp pleaseee...

  • Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
    Attempt #1:
         Action Steps Recorded -
    Open
    Save for web (set size parameters here)
    Close
          Batch settings -
    Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected
    Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
    NO checkmarks next to any options
    Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
    NO checkmark on override action
    Did not change file naming parameters
    Result #1 - DID NOT SAVE FILES
    Attempt #2:
         Action Steps Recorded -
    Open
    Save for web (set size parameters here)

    Result #5- DID NOT SAVE FILES
    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

  • Firefox will not save Site Certificate Exceptions even when checked to do so.

    I have a publicly free Wifi Access point near by that I use daily. When logging on to this site I get a Warning about the Sites Certificate and do I want to proceed, I choose YES and then are asked if I want to make this exception permanent and I put a check mark in the box for yes and press accept. This is suppose to permanently accept this websites certificate in the future. It does not.. It will not save the exception from one session to the next.
    IN SHORT: Firefox failure to permanently store website Certificate exceptions.

  • System Settings will not save my desired mouse scroll direction

    I understand the Apple genius of wanting the Settings: Mouse: Scroll direction: Natural box to be checked.  But **** it, this is MY iMac and I want the scroll direction to remain Unchecked, so the screen scrolls in the direction I’ve been used to for YEARS.
    The problem is the System Settings will not save the unchecked scroll box.  I have to return to the System Settings every time I log on to UN check the Scroll Direction: Natural box.
    Will Apple ever fix this so that I, and others, can operate the scrolling as THEIR LONG-TIME USER sees fit?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
