Automatically load Office shortcut bar when in Outlook 2003

[ajkim001]

Is there a way to automatically load the Office shortcut bar (from previous
version) while using Outlook 2003? When I exit out of the toolbar it prompts
that it will automatically load when Windows is loaded but it does not. Does
something in Outlook 2003 override this function? Is there a way to disable
it? Thanks~

Yes, I understand that the shortcut bar is not included in Outlook 2003. I
guess I should have explained...I have both Office 2000 and Office 2003
installed simultaneously. But I am also aware that you can run both
installations so that you can still utilize the shortcut bar. My question
is, I would like to know how/if it is possible to automatically start the
toolbar when loading Office 2003.

Add a shortcut to the OSA9.EXE file to your Windows startup
folder. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=203078 "Office
Shortcut Bar (OSB) setup, startup, and exit behavior is different
from earlier versions of Office" for more information.

YES!!! It worked. Thank you sooo much GnO. You're the best!

as a side note: Having the solution's description called "Office Shortcut
Bar (OSB) setup, startup, and exit behavior is different from earlier
versions of Office" does make it harder to search for.
