How do I configure Outlook to open directly into my
hotmail inbox when I launch? Curently I have to open
Outlook then open hotmail.
 
You need to create a shortcut to open Outlook in the Hotmail inbox folder.

The shortcut will look like this:
outlook.exe /select outlook:folder_name

If it returns an error, use the full path. (Your path may vary.)

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /select
outlook:folder_name

To find the folder name, show the Web toolbar and copy it from the address
bar. (Some versions of outlook have an Address bar visible, copy it from
there.)
