    Hi,

    By design you cannot disable the advertisement at the right side of outlook screen. However.I will forward the suggestion over to our product team as consideration for a future release.

    Thanks!

    I hate to change email accounts I've had this one for about 15 years.  I need to view some emails in full screen without the annoying ads I can't remove.  Thanks microsoft for feeling the greed to make my life a little more difficult.

    Please read this..................................

    If changing to FireFox is ok with you, have a look at this past reply from MS Answers forums....

    Using FireFox to eliminate the ads.

    Upgrade to Hotmail Plus - Hotmail Plus comes without any ads displayed alongside your emails: this makes the Hotmail experience a lot more enjoyable: the screens are less cluttered, and pages load faster since Hotmail Plus does not have to download the graphical banner ads the regular Hotmail has to. For more information, please refer to the link below.

    Microsoft pretends that you can opt-out but you really can't 'opt-out' of their ads and that's all they are - something they want you to try and buy.  Typical Microsoft - controlling.   I don't  like all of that clutter on my page and it hinders you from seeing the complete message (from; date; subject; etc.) unless you change the size of your page but that junk is still on your right side.    

    Hopefully if enough people complain they will do away with the 'ads' or at least let the customer control whether they see them.
