Default Contacts Opening Expanded

I have Office 2007 and recently updated to Windows 7. I use Outlook for
business. I have over 2000 contacts and I view them in category mode. I
have about 12 categories and when I had Office 2003 when I would open my
contacts they would open with the categories all collapsed. When I had XP
and now with Windows 7 with Office 2007, when I open my contacts, they
sometimes (about 60% of the time) open with all of the categories expanded.
Is there a way to change a setting to make sure that they always open
collapsed instead of expanded? I always collapse the groups before I exit
contacts.

Outlook should remember that when it closes. Make sure it is closing using
the Processes tab of the Task Manager.

How do I make sure that it is closing using the Processes tab of the Task
Manager? I didn't have this problem with Office 2003 and XL.

Open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape), select the Processes tab and make
sure OUTLOOK.EXE does not appear in the list. That way you know it closed.

Brian,
This also happens when I do not exit Outlook, but also when I go from
contacts to calendar, email, or any other function. Again, this did not
happen when I used 2003 with XP. Is there a setting that I can get to that
will allow me to set this to open the contacts collapsed every time?

Thank you
