A simple way to do this is to create a separate Outlook shortcut using the /select outlook:calendar switch. Often it’s handy to have both the Outlook email folders and the Outlook Calendar displayed side by side. Essentially, it tells Outlook to open once only and to switch to the existing Outlook window if you try to run a second copy.


By default, Outlook opens to either your Inbox or the Outlook Today page, using a command-line that looks something like this: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE” /recycle The /recycle at the end of that line is a switch which tells Outlook to start up in an existing Outlook window if one is available. Microsoft Outlook comes with a collection of command-line switches which let you determine how the program starts.
