On tasks and communication default the view to all items

On the Tasks/Communication tabs, the default view for tasks, comunication, email, etc. is basically 1 week (it is actually 2 weeks but the from date is a week in the past and the to date is a week in the future).  It is rare that a person is looking for somthing in the last week. More often we dont even know what the date range of what we are looking for is so we end up changeing the start date to several years ago so we can capture everything. 

It would save steps and be faster if the system automaticaly defaulted to showing all items and then let the user narrow it by date if they want.
