Cannot Change the Start-up Folder

[Matthew]

No matter what I do, my Outlook always starts at the
inbox. I go to "Outlook Today" and set it as "go directly
to Outlook Today" ... Nothing... I go to "Advanced
Options" and set a different folder in "Startup in this
folder" ... Nothing... Has anyone seen this?

Help! Is this a known bug or is there some setting that I
have to undo? Thanks!

It's probably the shortcut you're using to open Outlook. Some shortcuts are
preprogrammed to open Outlook in the Inbox -- for example, the one that
appears on the Windows XP Start menu. (It's a "check e-mail" shortcut and
it will automatically open the Inbox of whatever mail program you have set
as the default.) Other shortcuts may have a switch added to the end of the
target file path that specifies opening in one folder or another. Check
your shortcut and see if any of the above applies.
