I have been trying to figure out how to add/remove folders from the
Favorites folders section of the Outlook bar.

Can any one point me in the right way for commands to do this?

Is it even possible with VBA?

Thank you,
Ken
 
Outlook version? Do you mean the Public Folder\Favorites hierarchy? Or the
Favorites area in Outlook 2003?
 
Sorry,
I mean the Favorite Folders on the Outlook Bar in Outlook 2003.

Thank you,
Ken
 
I don't see any way to get a favorite out of the navigation pane (not
Outlook Bar, which doesn't exit in Outlook 2003; its successor is the
Shortcuts view in the nav pane) short of shutting down Outlook and hacking
the .xml file that holds the nav pane info.

Actually,
Editing XML is not that big of a deal. I just wonder if there is a way
to force it to refresh? If so, I can make it happen. I am already updating
the registry so that the Outlook Today updates with different sets of
mailbox folders in the list. That was not that bad. Though I have to click
on a different folder to make it update.

Is there a way to make the Outlook Today or any html view in a folder update
on command?

Thank you,

Ken
 
The nav pane refreshes only when Outlook starts. And Outlook writes to it
when it shuts down. So, you'd have to have some external program that waits
until Outlook shuts down, then writes your changes to the nav pane XML file.

Any HTML view should refresh with F5.
