If you're a person who doesn't have Outlook open all the time, it takes a lot of time. If you do keep Outlook open, you have to hunt for the program and bring it up. Well, here's a way around all that, sent in by user Erasmo Medina. Got an Exchange tip of your own? Why not send it in?

The first step is to create a batch or command file and place it where Outlook.exe file resides. For example: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office." Name this file something of your choice; I named mine "Newmsg.bat." The three lines below are a sample of what this file should contain to execute the correct command for the New Message item. Listing 1: @Echo off Start Outlook.exe /c ipm.note Exit Next, you need to create a shortcut of the newly created batch file on your desktop. Or, if you prefer, you can set it up in your "Programs" group as well. I placed mine on my Desktop and my Quick Launch Toolbar. To set the shortcut up on your desktop, right click and then click New/Shortcut, and fill in the appropriate blanks. You can browse to the batch file you just created, and, if you like, click on Change Icon to get a pretty picture. This setup saves me time, additional clicks and shuffling windows around. Now I find my time to be more productive than before. *For more resources, find out what your peers are discussing in our active Exchange discussion forum: http://searchwin2000.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?50@@.ee83d69. ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DID YOU LIKE THIS TIP? ==================================================================== We rely on your feedback!
