Outlook 2007: The Hand

So in Outlook 2007 there’s an occasional hand that comes up in my VMs that effectively locks up office (I can’t do anything so I need to restart it).  It’s not a Fusion issue though, it’s an Outlook setting.  To disable it, first enable the More Commands Toolbar.  Then, in the options for the toolbar, select Commands Not in the Toolbar and scroll down to Panning Hand and Add it to the toolbar.  Now when the hand comes up (because you’re panning) you’ll be able to click off of it.  It’s actually a cool feature if you have a really big document or zoom in on documents and need to move around in the document easily.  I didn’t even know it was a feature until I had to figure out how to get rid of it.
