Hi- using XP Home/ Outlook (Office) 2000:

I have checked under 'options' that I want Outlook to open at 'Outlook
Today'.

It doesn't! It still starts at my Inbox!

Is there a hidden box 'unchecked somewhere! I'm all up to date across the
board... thank you!
 
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.
