Disable the peek view of Calendar in Outlook 2013
Some Outlook users may not like this peek view, and think of them annoy. However, it seems no easy way to disable the peek view from Outlook directly. Here I will introduce a trick to disable the peek view of Calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2013.
Step 1: Click the ellipsis 
at the bottom of Navigation Pane, and then select the "Navigation Options" from the popping up menu.
Step 2: In the Navigation Options dialog box, change the "Maximum number of visible items" to "1", keep the "Mail" first in the "Display in this order" box, and click the "OK" button.
Then you will see all buttons or text are hidden except the Mail at the bottom of Navigation Pane. In this case, it’s impossible to view the peek views of Calendar, People, Task, etc.
Note: In the case, users can’t switch Outlook views with clicking the Calendar/People/Task at the bottom of Navigation Pane directly. Alternatively, hotkeys are easily ways for you to shift Outlook views:
| No. | Outlook View | Hotkeys |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Ctrl" + "1" | |
| 2 | Calendar | "Ctrl" + "2" |
| 3 | People | "Ctrl" + "3" |
| 4 | Tasks | "Ctrl" + "4" |
| 5 | Notes | "Ctrl" + "5" |
| 6 | Folders | "Ctrl" + "6" |
Apart from the hotkeys, you can also switch Outlook views with clicking the ellipsis at the bottom of Navigation Pane > "Calendar"/"People"/"Tasks"
