I have customized Outlook in the correct way so that
Outlook Today should be the first thing I see when
opening the program. Instead Outlook continues to open
to the Inbox. (This isn't a giant issue, but I don't
like it when I when the garbage in and garbage out don't
match.)

I am using Outlook 2002 on Windows XP Home.

Thanks,


Perry
 
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.

Dear Jocelyn,

You diagnosis was spot on the money. I created a new
shortcut, popped it into the Start Menu, and all is right
with the world!

Thanks,

Perry
