Slow startup OL 2002

[Charles Harvey]

I have recently installed OL 2003 (previous 2000) and also I have
installed XP sp2, I now notice, that OL takes a long time to start-up,
about 20-30 secs, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or is it just
me. Running 2ghz amd proc and 512Mg mem

TIA

Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.)

Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will
need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat
controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause
Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect.
