How can I add the "To" column heading to show up in ALL email fold

I have over 500 folders in my Outlook 2003. One for each customer, etc. I
desperately need the "to" column to show up as default between the "From" and
"Subject" for all my customer folders. This is because there are emails in
each customer folder that are sent to various recipients so I need a way to
find those fast. Outlook seems to omit this "to" gray cell in their default
column settings. I know that you can do this to each folder individually be
going in to the "Customize View" and selecting the "field" button but this is
a 5 step process and must be done on EACH individual folder. PLEASE HELP!
Is there some way to add the "To" cell to always automatically show up? I
know I did this somehow a few years ago, but I have searched every knowledge
topic known to man and I can't figure out how I did it. The reason I don't
have it showing up any more is that my computer was crashing and they
installed a totally new Office Suite for Outlook 2003 and it wiped out all my
settings. (I didn't know about the "save settings wizard" at the time).

Reset all your views (with /cleanviews), then change the Message view with
View>Arrange By>Current View>Define Views. All folders using the Messages
view will change. Since all mail folders use the Messages view by default
(except for the Sent Items folder), they'll all show your changes.
