To change the look of the TaskPad shown in the Calendar folder

You can start by choosing View | TaskPad View and picking one of the built-in views:

If none of those views meets your needs, right-click on any of the column headings for the TaskPad, then choose View Summary (Outlook 97) or Customize Current View (Outlook 98 or later). You’ll be able to change the sorting, grouping, filter and other settings for the TaskPad.

For Outlook 2002, Office XP Service Pack 2 fixes a problem that made it impossible to add a custom filter to the TaskPad.
