Desktop shortcut to open a specific Profile

[SilvrT]

I have 4 mail profiles on my machine. Three of them are connected to
Exchange mailboxes and one to a PST file. I cause the system to prompt
me for which profile to use. I would like to somehow set up shortcuts
(or something) that will open a specified profile so that I can have 4
shortcuts, one for each of the profiles and then I can disable the
system to prompt for a profile. My overall intent is to be able to
have multiple copies of Outlook open; however, each copy working with
the different profile. Does anyone know if this can be done?

You can use a switch to start Outlook with a certain profile without being
prompted but you cannot run several instances of Outlook at the same time
under one user account.

Create the following shortcut to outlook.exe
"C:\Progr...\..\outlook.exe" /profile profilename
