Change Activities' "Show" default?

Change Activities' "Show" default?

Hi,

On a Contact's "Activities tab, is there any way to
change from the default from "All Items" to "Upcoming
Tasks/Appointments"? That is the selection I use, and it
is really annoying to have to hit the Stop button when it
trying to scan the entire Outlook database for totally
irrelevant information just because "All Items" is the
default.

And while I'm at it, it would be really useful it it
would be possible to assign a user defined folder to
those items in the dropdown. For example, why scan every
email in Outlook when I already have folders for
particular companies/individuals.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Bret

On the Properties dialog for the contacts folder, on the Activities tab, you
can set the default activities view at the bottom of that dialog.
