I was unhappy with the change from Hotmail to Outlook, but have managed to get used to it. What really annoys me is the column of 'hints' or 'try this' suggestions which occupys a quarter of the page of incoming and outgoing draft and sent emails.

I have tried in vain to find something to click on to delete it.

Please help or I will have not choice but to give up Outlook/Hotmail and use my other email accounts with Yahoo and Three.

These items I'm talking about are not advertiements. They are originated by Outllo/Hotmail and refer to

1. Skydrive - "try this

2.Move or delete with Sweep - "learn more"

3. Register your computer as Trusted = "do it now"

I've read these and choose to ignore them. I just want this column out of the way please.
