Start Outlook scheduler from another person

On our intranet I want to add the possibility to open the scheduler
(agenda?) of Outlook of our Reception department, so anyone can view
that thing.

Is it possible to make a shortcut to that? i.e. c:\program
files\outlook.exe /scheduler /name=Reception (I know this isn't
correct but it's just to make it a bit clearer what I want to do)

Thanks!

When Exchange is used, this kind of requirement is usually dealt with by
having a calendar in Public Folders.

That's what we do, but to avoid explaining how to drill down through our
large convoluted set of public folders, we publish URL's to the ones
belonging to our site on our local intranet. I forget the URL format, but
will try to remember to look it up for tomorrow and post back here then.

Two methods:
Per command line:
OUTLOOK /select "outlook:\\Public Folders\All Public Folders\another folder\Some Calendar"

Per URL:
Outlook://Public Folders/All Public Folders/another folder/Some Calendar

The first method has the advantage that other command line switches can
be added as needed, e.g. /profile "a certain profile".

Thanks Michael, I had forgotten all about promising to look this up.
