How can I get To-do's to show up in the Today screen Task list?

Hi, I am a new Outlook user, and have recently run into a problem in that I
missed doing some things I had made "To-Do" to remind me to do.
Unfortunately, I assumed that the Today screen would show my active "To-Do's"
but I realize it only show's "Tasks". I'm a unclear what the difference is.
Is there anyway to integrate them so they both show up on the Today screen?
Why are they in different folders?
Thanks for your help.

Outlook 2007? They are on the To-do Bar... it's replacing Outlook today
because few users use it. The to-do list isn't a separate folder like
tasks - it's just a list of flagged items.
 
Thanks for your reply,

I guess that means to-dos and tasks can't be integrated in the Outlook Today
listing. It might be an easy thing to implement, since they are integrated
in the To-Do Bar. For me, with the current layout I find I generate mostly
flags, which I use essentially as short-term task reminders (the flag button
is much more prominent than the create task button). I liked the idea of
starting on the Today screen to get an overview of things to deal with, but
now I have to actively avoid it as I miss too much. I also dislike the
redundancy of adding the to-do bar to the today screen itself.

Regards,
Ed
