At work, we have shared computers on a network. When I log into a
workstation, is there a way to have Microsoft Outlook 2003 open
automatically? We have trouble with people that don't open it and thus miss
important emails.

Put the icon in the startup group?

Click to expand...

1) Log in to computer.
2) Right click on desktop - New - Shortcut
3) Click Browse and browse to the location of Outlook.exe. For 2k3 and XP,
it would likely be My Computer - C: - Program Files - Microsoft Office -
Office11 - Outlook.exe and click Ok, then Next.
4) Type whatever you want for the name, so long as you can find it again
and recognize what it is for.
5) Right click on the Start button - Explore All Users
6) Expand Programs, select startup
7) Move short cut created above into Startup directory.

Depending on the network environment, I'm sure you could actually do a logon
script to automate the procedure to create the icon so it's done for users
when they log into the domain, but, again, that depends on the network
structure (like, for instance, if you're even running a domain, or if you're
just logging into local accounts).
