Default Task Folders

I'm creating a Task folder structure similar to my Inbox -- where my
subfolders can have subfolders, but I can't get the folders to list with the
plus/minus open & close boxes.

Is this possible with Outlook 2007?

Default Task Folders

How are you creating them? If as sub-folders to a parent folder, they will have the expand/collapse signs next to them.

I'm right-clicking on the 'parent' folder, and choosing 'New Folder'. They
don't look hierarchial unless I delete the parent folder -- then all the
kids disappear too.

Have you tried File-New-Folder-Type - Tasks. Locate the parent task
folder and then click create. It will appear under the parent folder.

They don't look heirarchical in the Folder List or when you use the
Navigation Pain to view them? The Pain does not show the heirarchy - hence
my nickname for it.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Nope -- that seems to open the same window -- and accomplishes the same
results.

That's probably because you're using the Taks view of the Navigation Pane.
View your folders with the Folder List view and you'll see the hierarchy.
