Working with Switches
Switches are used with the file path to the Outlook program file If you used the default installation path, it's found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe Enter this line in the Target field of a shortcut or in the Open field of the Start, Run
command and append the switch at the end of the line
When it's a command you'll want to use often, creating a shortcut is often the best way Command lines you type into the Start menu, Run dialog are persistent, but you can put shortcuts on the Quick Launch menu and your desktop, or pin them to Windows XP's Start menu
When making shortcuts for command lines, I prefer to copy the shortcut on my Quick Launch toolbar and add switches to the shortcut properties To make a copy of a shortcut, right-click on it and choose Create Shortcut The new shortcut, which you might want to rename, is named Launch Microsoft Office Outlook (2) by default
If you're not using the Quick Launch toolbar, use the wizard to create a shortcut on your desktop and use copies of it for your commands Right-click on the desktop and choose New, Shortcut and follow the steps in the wizard
Now that you have a shortcut ready to work with, right-click on it and choose Properties The Properties dialog for the shortcut opens, as seen in Figure B.1 Because I used a copy
of the shortcut on Quick Launch, it has the /recycle switch already appended; I'll replace
it with a new switch
Figure B.1 Create new Outlook shortcuts on your Windows desktop Don't forget to
change the shortcut's name on the General tab
Trang 2After creating the shortcut, you can drag it to Outlook's Shortcuts bar on the Navigation Pane or to the Start menu's All Programs menu
Using just Outlook.exe as the command line (without the folder path) often works However, if you receive errors that the file can't be found, use the full path and enclose it
in quotes when the path contains spaces You'll see both formats used in the examples
The switches are not case-sensitive; I used capital letters to make the
commands easier to read When you're typing a switch, you can use all
lowercase
