How Do You Customize Outlook 2000 To Start Up By Showing A Calendar?
By default, when you launch the Microsoft Outlook email client on a PC computer, you are taken to the main welcome page that displays your email inbox and any important notifications. If you use Outlook mainly for managing your calendar, you can customize the program so that it automatically switches to calendar view when it is opened. This process is applicable to all versions of Outlook, including Outlook 2000. Make sure the Microsoft Outlook application is closed and not running. Open the Start menu and click on the “My Computer” icon. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10 directory. Right click on the “OUTLOOK.exe” icon and select “Create Shortcut” from the contextual menu. Drag and drop the new Outlook shortcut to your desktop or another location you frequently access. Right click on the shortcut icon and choose “Properties.” Modify the “Target” field so that it reads “OUTLOOK.EXE /select outlook:calendar.” Hit the “OK” button to save the shortcut’s settings.
