I would like Outlook to open to the calendar view. I went to
Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options and set Startup in this folder to
"Calendar". but everytime I open Outlook it opens to the Inbox. The
account I am using is the local administrator account. Is there
anyway to set this in the registry or directly edit the configuration
file?

Also, I would like the default view for the calendar to show 2 days.
I know how to hit Alt-2, to change it to show 2 days, but I would like
it to open that way. Is that possible? If so, how?

Thanks
Garry
 
For your first question, 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.

I don't know of any way to force the calendar to open in a 2-day view --
perhaps someone else knows a method to do this and will jump in here.
