When M.O. icon is on desktop, I can "click" on the symbol
and it automatically "opens" the view. How do I make it
password protected, i.e., you MUST use a password to open
Outlook? Thanks for the help.

SUMMARY
In Microsoft Outlook it is possible to prevent others from accessing your
mail, contacts, and calendars by assigning a password to your personal
folders.
MORE INFORMATION
To add a password to your personal folders follow these steps:


If the Folder List is not visible, then click Folder List on the View menu.
Right-click "Outlook Today - [Personal Folders]", and then click Properties
For "Personal Folders" on the shortcut menu.
On the General tab, click Advanced.
Click Change Password.
In the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify it by
typing it a second time.
Make sure that the "Save this password in your password list" check box is
cleared (not checked). This prevents the password from being cached. You
will need to type it each time you run Outlook.
After you have entered the password successfully, click OK three times.
The next time you start Outlook, you will be prompted to type a password
before viewing the contents of the personal folder.
