SYMPTOMS

When you switch from a non-Hotmail account from the Folder List in Outlook 2002 to the Hotmail Inbox folder, the Address bar may suddenly open or move.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Address bar has not been set for a default position in the registry.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, drag the Address bar to a different position and it will stop opening and closing automatically.
