Directly opening contacts folder without opening outlook

Triny

I wanted to know if there is any way to open the contact
folder directly without opening outlook 2002? I sometimes
need to open contacts in a hurry and opening the entire
outlook takes some time in my case.

I have a feeling this is possible because once I open
outlook and right click 'contacts' folder in the folder
list pane on the left side and select "open in new
window", the contacts or opened in a new window. I want
this exact window to be opened but without opening
outlook. I am hoping there are some command line shortcuts
appended to exe file which might do this. If this can be
done it will save me a lot of hassle.

Thanks

Create a shorcut whose target looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe" /select
Outlook:Contacts

Thanks a lot Brian. Created one for calendar too on
similar lines!

Is there any way to open this window without the folder
list pane on the left side? Not a must but will give me
some more real estate without me having to always close it.

Thanks
