I'm using Outlook 2000 and am having a problem getting
the program to start in the Outlook Today page. I have
read KB article 820575 regarding the need to alter the
registry to be able to get into the customization
features after installing critical update 813489. I went
through the listed procedure and was able to customize
the outlook today page. But (even though I checked
the "start in outlook today" box) it still starts in my
inbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's especially irritating about this is that on my
laptop I wnet through the procedure below and it worked
correctly. Not sure what is hanging it up on my desktop.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

It's probably the shortcut you're using to open Outlook. Some shortcuts are
preprogrammed to open Outlook in the Inbox -- for example, the one that
appears on the Windows XP Start menu. (It's a "check e-mail" shortcut and
it will automatically open the Inbox of whatever mail program you have set
as the default.) Other shortcuts may have a switch added to the end of the
target file path that specifies opening in one folder or another. Check
your shortcut and see if any of the above applies.
