I'd love to have Office 2007 Outlook open as my Home Page.
Can anyone shoot me some magic?
Thanks!

Are you trying to say that you want Outlook 2007 to open when you boot your
computer? If so, add a shortcut to Outlook.exe to All Programs, Startup.

One way:
First write down the path to Outlook.exe. A default path is: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\outlook.exe. If you choose to install
Office 2007 to other than the "C" drive, change the drive letter to the
drive you used. I would go to that location and verify that you find
outlook.exe.

Open Start, All Programs. Look for Startup entry. Right click on Startup and
select Explore All Users. When the explore window opens click on File {top
left} and select New, Shortcut. A wizard will open to create a shortcut in
the Startup folder for all users. Enter the full path to outlook.exe in the
text box. Click on Next button and follow directions. Note: this will
place a shortcut to Outlook 2007 in the startup folder for all users of your
computer. If you have your computer configured for multiple users and only
one users wants Outlook 2007 to start at boot, choose Explore when you right
click on Startup {above}. Then a shortcut to Outlook 2007 will be created
only in the startup folder for the current user. If this note confuses you,
ignore it and just create a shortcut to Outlook 2007 in the startup folder
for all users.

Don and Bruce,

Easy way to do what you are trying to accomplish.

Go to Start, Programs, Microsoft Office, r-Click on Outlook, drag to
Startup and into it then release and then select "copy here"

Don and Bob,

Thanks to your help, my hope has been rewarded.
This computer now opens to Outlook.

(I have become grateful for the help from strangers, after recently becoming
deaf.
This computer is now the communication with my world.
Isn't it disappointing that some of the other respondents have chosen
sarcasm as their way of relating to people who ask for help? Is that the best
they can do?)

You kindness to strangers will always be rewarded.

I do often go the hard way.
