Shortcut to Open Outlook and view Inbox

[Larry Hodges]

Running Outook 2003

By default, I have the Main Today view up when I open Outlook. I don't want
to change that. But I would like a shortcut to open Outlook, showing my
Inbox.

Something like...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /Inbox

I know it's possible...I just can't remember the syntax.

Thanks,
-Larry

In the upper right corner of Outlook, where you see "Type a question for
help", enter "command line" and press Enter. Expand the "command-line
switches" topic and read. Look for "/select"
