this sounds like the hard way to do this. is there not an easier way like
finding the shortcut that already exists and dropping it on the desktop?

desktop
Hi Ckhris:
Since this would be helpful to me to know as well, I did a little research.
I don't have Microsoft Outlook on my home computer and hence can't verify
that this will work, but I feel very confident that it will, and I'll test
it when I go into work tomorrow.
1. Go to your desktop and make sure that nothing is selected.
2. Press the applications key; arrow down four times; you'll hear "new";
right arrow once; then down arrow once to "shortcut.
3. Press enter; when prompted for the shortcut location, copy this command
line text exactly as written:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /select
outlook:calendar
4. Press "tab" twice; you'll hear next; press enter.
5. Type a name for your shortcut, i.e., calendar; press "tab" twice; you'll
hear "finish"; press enter.
6. Put a fork in it; i.e., you're done.
John

Subject: [VICUG-L] Placing a shortcut to the outlook calendar on the desktop
Hello List:
A couple years ago I was shown how to place a shortcut to the outlook
calendar on my desktop. We are not interested in using outlook for email,
but we do find the calendar convenient. I can't, for the life of me,
remember how we did it. I went through the normal process of creating a
shortcut, and I can find the exe file for outlook no problem, but this
launches the entire outlook program, and I don't want that. Can anyone
assist me with this?
Thanks, Chris.
