Making reminders always active

Hi,
using Oulook XP (from Office XP SBE), is there a way, some separate
component or whatever to make reminders appear even when the main program
is not running?

In case it is not possible, a solution would be to put a link to Outlook
in the Startup folder, but this makes the Outlook window open completely;
is there a way to make it open minimized? I tried setting the related
option in the link, to no avail. I also checked Outlook's command line
switches, but none seems to be suited to that purpose.

Thanks.
 
No. You need to have Outlook open. To put the Outlook shortcut into the
startup folder, right click in the startup folder and select new shortcut.
Edit the shortcut to open minimized.

Thanks, but that's not so easy. As reported here:
OL2002: How to Start Outlook in a Minimized State
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=251340

....this works _only_ if you do never maximize the Outlook window and you
do not have "Outlook Today" set to be shown at startup, which is not very
convenient.
Otherwise, Outlook doesn't care about the shortcut setting.

I might have found a solution in Outlock (freeware, www.eldblom.dk/path),
although I only tried it for a moment yet.

Your signature delimiter seems to be out of standard, I see a square
character instead of the space after the two dashes...
