Create Email for frequently used addresses

I once saw a tuturial in my help topics on creating, in outlook and the
desktop, shortcuts that create new email for frequently used addresses. Does
anyone know where this info is? I send emails several times a day to my
associate and would like to use this feature.

If you enter "command line" into your Outlook Help, you should get
information on how to do this.

Thanks a ton,

Your information was what I was looking for and in addition, I
was able to locate this which can then be brought to the desktop if needed.
FYI for anyone who is in need of the same. Take care

Create a custom toolbar button

1.. On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the
Commands tab.
2.. In the Categories list, click New Menu.
3.. In the Commands list, click New Menu and drag it to the
toolbar. When the pointer looks like an I-beam, release the mouse button.
4.. On the toolbar, right-click the New Menu button, and in
the Name box on the shortcut menu, type a name for the new toolbar button.
Add e-mail addresses and subject lines

1.. In the Categories list mentioned in step 2 above, click
File.
2.. In the Commands list, click Mail Message and drag it to
the custom menu button that you added to the toolbar. When you rest the
pointer over the custom button, a gray box appears. Drop the Mail Message
command onto the gray box. (If you are adding a subsequent command, no gray
box will appear. Drop the command onto the most recent command you added.)
If you want to use a different icon, choose the command from
the Commands list that has the icon you want. For example, if you add a
distribution list, you can use the Distribution List command to get the
distribution list icon.

3.. On the toolbar, right-click the Mail Message command, and
in the Name box on the shortcut menu, type a name for the person,
distribution list, or alias you're assigning to the command.
4.. Then, on the shortcut menu, point to Assign Hyperlink, and
then click Open.
5.. Under Link to, click E-mail Address.
6.. In the E-mail address box, enter the e-mail address of the
person, distribution list, or alias you want to assign to the command. If
you want this automatically addressed message to also have a standard
subject line, such as Status Report, type it in the Subject box.
Repeat these steps for each person, group, or standard subject
line you want to add to the button.
