Start OL at Login

[Tim]

Hi.

I find it useful to put shortcuts to various OL items (like new task, note,
etc.) on my Taskbar so that I can have instant access to them throughout the
day. Because of how I use my 'puter, I don't want OL to be visible in the
Taskbar. I want to start OL at login, using VBScript, but the following
doesn't make a persistent instance of OL; it loads OL, but then it the
instance ends at the end of the script. Can someone tell me how to make a
persistent instance of OL using VBScript?

My code (in StartOL.vbs):

Dim OLApp
Set OLApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

TIA

You would need to display a UI (Explorer) to not have Outlook go completely
out of scope when your script stops.
