How can I make a shortcut to OL Add-in Lookout?

[Chad Harris]

I just downloaded Lookout--which I guess is a another .net add-in for
Outlook. I want to make a shortcut to Lookout if I can. Can anyone help?
Using MOS 03 on an SP2 RTM box.

Thanks,

You can't. It's an add-in so it only works from within Outlook.

That helps. If you can't, I'm giving it up. It saves me a search on your
great site also. I would have liked to use it without having to open up
Outlook with BCM every time I did. I wanted to ask you. Has this been
around for a couple years and I bumped into it late? Also is this the first
..net add in to Outlook and BCM the second or the reverse? Because these
must be two .net add-ins to Outlook. Are their others? Does adding more
..net add-ins slow OL down--it doesn't seem to have?

It seems to search My Documents a lot faster and more completely than
Windows XP Search which a lot of people (myself included) find very erratic
and slow. I can find a most things on the C Drive manually faster than XP
search and it misses key files. It doesn't always find every document.

Thanks,

Chad Harris

BCM was first as it was launched together with Outlook 2003. Lookout is an
add-in which hasn't been designed by Microsoft but Microsoft bought that a
while ago and made it available as a free download. I'm not sure whether
more .net add-ins will slow Outlook. I think the developers can answer you
that. Some do come in this newsgroup but you'll probably get an answer
sooned by going to outlook.program_vba.

Searching goes indeed a lot faster with Lookout then with the Windows XP
search. This is because Lookout indexes all your files into a database. When
you do a search you are searching in the database and not every file on your
harddisk. This technology will be in Longhorn as well (the next version of
Windows). This should make searching and reusing your information a total
bliss. Now when I do a search on our corporate network I grap a coffee or go
out for lunch ;-)
