Windows 10: Outlook 2019 prompt issue - upon setup

Hi, I have recently purchased Office 2019 from my work Good deal.. installed on Windows 10 pro 64bit, first I wanted to setup Outlook 2019 with my .live account and upon setup it uses my Hotmail email address which is my live account but then prompts me locally for credentials on Windows 10 …why? looking at fixes I tried a registry fix from old post that didn't work where you add reg Dword to reg path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover
DWORD: ExcludeExplicitO365Endpoint
value 1this did not work so why is it prompting for local credentials from Win10 to set this up ( never had this issue with any other office like 2013..

Adjusting font size in Outlook folder list (2016/2019)


Hi folks
Is there a way to get this screen in Outlook 2016/2019.

Here in Outlook 2010 you can easily adjust the font size and type in the folder list (navigation pane) and other things which makes it much more readable on a large monitor - sometimes default fonts are too tiny - especially when viewed on large screens !!





I can't seem to get to similar screens in Outlook 2016/2019.
In Some places you can't set size either - you just get choice of small, large, larger !!!!!!! definitely a retrograde step IMO.

Cheers
jimbo

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
