Thank you for this tutorial! I have selected the Winter style and saved the changes. How can I go back to the Standard style?

Hi vlanko,
In Outlook, you can change or restore the standard opening interface as follows:
1. Cl ick File > Options.
2. In the Outlook Options dialog, click Advanced in the left bar, and then click Browse button right to the Start Outlook in this folder box, and select Inbox or another folder as you need.

Hi kellytte,
Thank you for answer!
My question was about something else. Something that should be easy but I find surprisingly difficult to do: customizing Outlook Today for a second time.
I clicked "Customize Outlook Today..." (first step in this article) and I chose the "Winter style" (step 2).
Now I would like to change the style again, but the "Customize Outlook Today..." is no longer there.
I tried changing the style in "Folder Properties", "Home page" tab:

(see screenshots attached)

But now, neither clicking "Retore Defaults" or choosing a different htm file (like "...outlook3.htm") works.
Do you know how to change the style again? Thank you!

The link to Customize Outlook Today can move with each Style. In Winter Style it is in the lower right.

I had the same issue. I solved it using the registry editor:

Press the Windows key and start typing "registry editor".
Press enter when it appears in the completion list :-)
Click "Yes" when User Account Control asks if you want to allow Registry Editor to make change to your system.

In the address bar below the menu bar, enter the following:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Today

Double-click on CustomUrl, and change it to "outlook.url", without the quotes.
Edit the "Style" setting, and change it to "Style0".

In Outlook, navigate away from the Today screen (e.g., look at your emails), then navigate back to it and it should be fixed.
