How to open the Outlook calendar from the command line

I noticed that Allister has come up witrh some tips on Opening Outlook by using the command line, and by using switches.  I blogged about a handy list of switches that Outlook tips published, but the ability to open Outlook in a specific folder each time is really useful.  Just create a shortcut with Outlook.exe /select outlook:calendar.

Easy really.  Allisters blog is full of hints and tips for outlook users (not Outlook techies) like me.  Hard to believe he's in marketing... :-)

This is really useful. I'll stick that in a shortcut. Interestingly, the outlook:calendar bit in your post showed up as a link, which I clicked on, and that also launched the calendar.

Now, I know you think that all marketers are "fluffy air-head bunnies" but I am the exception that disproves the rule. (I am an fluffy air-head snail). Keep up the good blog!

Allister: if you're a snail - you're a racing snail..! Thanks for the encouragement about my blog, and keep on churning out those useful tips :-)

Simon: Subscribe to Allisters blog for lots of interesting and handy tips. He's got all the power tricks for Outlook. The scary thing is that he uses most of these shortcuts regularly - he doesn't just write about them and forget them - he uses as many labour saving tips as he can. Very impressive indeed...
By the way - I didn't realise that clicking on the link would work straight from my blog. Damn handy...

you can also use Start | Run | outlook:function (for function type calendar, tasks, journal or whatever you want to open)
I have to agree, Allister does find some neat office tips
