Right click on the Outlook icon on the desktop and choose "Create
shortcut". Move this shortcut to the autostart folder.

Hello Diane,

Thank you for your quick response to my question.

Your answer worked.

I need to know if there is a way that Outlook 2003 does not open up on
startup. I want/need Outlook 2003 to be like all my other programs that start
up automatically at reboot, but they do not open, but are active, they stay
in the notification tray.

Thank you,

Angel

Hello DL,

Thank you for your quick response.

The link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251340) which you sent me was
correct.

The only problem that I had with the information, that the link gave me, was
that they said that in order to successfully configure Outlook to run in a
minimized state, I had to make sure that Outlook was not configured to open
in the Outlook Today view.

My Outlook was configured to open up in the Outlook Today view. The problem
was they did not mention any steps that I could take to have Outlook Today
changed. I finally found out how to do this. I will mention below the step
by step process on how I changed the Outlook Today view.

I clicked on Tools on the menu bar
Then I clicked on Options… from the Tools drop down menu
Then I clicked on the tab named Other
Then I clicked on the Advanced Options… button
Then In the General settings section, Outlook Today, was in the Start up in
this folder: textbox, I then clicked on the browse button and chose what
folder I wanted Outlook to start up with
Then I click the Ok button on the Advanced Options dialogue box
Then I clicked on the OK button on the Options dialogue box
Then I rebooted the computer

When the computer started, it showed the Outlook product banner; which the
link said it would do, the banner quickly went away, and Outlook was in a
minimized state.

I hope this information can help others,

Thank you for your time and effort.

Very Grateful,

Angel

Right-click the shortcut you created; On the Shortcut tab locate the
drop-down box about halfway down the says "Run:" and change it to
"Minimized"

This may cause a taskbar button to appear. If you want to get rid of this,
right-click the Outlook tray icon and select "Hide when Minimized". You'll
only need to do this the first time: it should remember your choice after
that. Note this last bit only works with XP or Vista.
