Do you use the status bar view buttons in Outlook 2010?

[Forum Admin]

A user in this thread - Disable-the-To-Do-Bar-permanently - had a question about the Normal and Reading buttons on Outlook 2010's status bar. I commented that he's probably the only person who actually uses those buttons. I'm using this poll to prove I'm right.

The buttons are actually quite handy if you frequently need to maximize the reading window as the button toggle the navigation pane and to-do bar (and minimize the ribbon) from open to minimized. These buttons are pre-programmed views - if you prefer working with the navigation pane minimized or the to-do bar off, you don't want to use these buttons as they toggle between minimized and normal (open).

(The Calendar view and Contact's card views have additional buttons).
