MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2006desktop shortcut for Outlook Calendar
I would like to create a desktop shortcut for Outlook Calendar rather than having to open Outlook first. Create a shortcut that uses a command line like this (for OL2003): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Outlook.EXE" Outlook:Calendar >I would like to create a desktop shortcut for Outlook Calendar rather than > having to open Outlook first.

I think there's a way to create a shortcut to an Outlook folder but I can't find it at the moment. I'll reply here again when I find it (or someone else that already knows can answer). > Could a shortcut be created for another user's calendar instead of your > own? I'd be interested to know whether there is a solution to this. I used to have shortcuts in Outlook 2002 for directly accessing other users' shared calendars. When recently migrating to Outlook 2003 this functionality was stripped from the programme and I can't find an alternative that provides me with the same access. I don't like the new "feature" of side by side calendar view so this is not a suitable option for me. > I think there's a way to create a shortcut to an Outlook folder but I can't > find it at the moment.

Diane; Thanks for the reply and apologies for the long delay in responding. Here's how I used to do it: 1. File, Open, Other User's Folder - select the appropriate calendar 2. Favorites, Add to Favorites - add the other calendar to IE favorites list 3. drag the shortcut from IE favorites onto the desktop 4. drag the desktop shortcut onto the Outlook shortcut pane and rename it This gave me a shortcut in Outlook that allowed me to directly open the calendar rather than selecting it from the menu and having to open it in a new window. As I have a number of other calendars that I access on a regular basis (but only want to see one at a time) this gave me one-click access after the initial setup and made them behave as if they were my own folders. At stage 3 above the name of the shortcut was a long two-part hexadecimal number which I assume was the internal folder name within Outlook/Exchange. This functionality is no longer available in Outlook 2003 as the tie-in to IE favorites has been removed as far as I can tell. Any thoughts? > how did you do it before? you can still open others users calendars - but > need to r-click on them and choose new window or uncheck your calendar.

I'm looking for the Desktop icon of our Shared Public Calendars too (in Outlook 2003). > Diane; > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > >> > Could a shortcut be created for another user's calendar instead of your > > >> > own? HI Vince I am interested in the documentation where we could find the trigger associate to a shortcut. If you know where i can find it. As a trigger i mean ".../ something" Thank you > I think there's a way to create a shortcut to an Outlook folder but I can't > find it at the moment.

I am also VERY interested in knowing if there is a solution for this. I've got 4 resource calendars that I'd like to open only on occasion. And, I normally need to open all 4 resources at the same time. This would be a great timesaver, especially as slow as our network can be.....
