I hav ejust installed Outlook 2003.

In Outlook 2002 I used to be able to do the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe" /recycle /folder
"C:\Temp"

This opened up Outlook in the stated folder where I could use it similar to
Explorer.

I have modified the above to:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /recycle /folder
"C:\Temp"

However I get the following error:

Unable to display the selected file or folder.

This is on my local machine. The directory does exist.

Any ideas?

Outlook 2003 doesn't have the function to browse the computer. In the
Shortcuts Navigation you can drag and drop a folder/file to create a
shortcut to that folder/file.

Thanks Roady

That feature used to be one of the hidden treasures in Outlook and a highly
productive and effective means of providing users with a controlled means of
navigating directly to pre-defined directories. The one benefit is that all
of my client base will not have buy as many Outlook licences as I will now
have to use IE or similar.
