Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Sometimes software just baffles me. A few days ago, my Outlook 2003 decided to quit remembering the collapsed state of my mail folders in the folder list. Just like that. Sometime last week. Basically, no matter how I change the folder expand/collapse state, whenever I quit and launch Outlook they are exactly where they were when I launched the previous time.
Now, this problem does not happen on 2 of my computers, just my laptop. I spent some time pulling my hair out and did what any good geek does when they can't fix something. I pave'd my machine using Remote Installation Services at work, installed a fresh copy of Tablet SP2, and then installed Office. Guess what? Problem still happens. I can't believe it. This problem really has me stumped. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it?
