Hello,
Is there anyway to limit multiple instances of Outlook? I have a user who
continually ignores the taskbar and opens another copy of Outlook everytime
they need to get to their inbox - which is often.

Just curious, would seem like an intelligent option. Then again, we are
talking about M$ here. :)

Make sure her Outlook shortcut includes "/recycle" on the command line.
 
Hello Brian,
I tried your trick, but Windows obstinately rejects this shortcut syntax.
The current shortcut says :
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE"
From your message, I suppose I must write :
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE/recycle"
.... which does'nt work.

Thanks
Fred
 
Close, but not quite -

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle

should do it....

Command line switches (for any Windows program, not just Outlook) must be
separated from the .exe by at least one space.
