Modify the shortcut to Outlook with the "/select outlook:calendar" switch

For instance:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /select
outlook:calendar

Another way of going about this is to start Outlook and go to
'Tools|Options|Other tab|Advanced Options' and change the "Start up in this
folder" box to "Calendar".

I guess that's sort of like the problem of not finding a key labeled "Any"
when told to "Strike any key to continue"...
