Startup Outlook minimized in the system tray

[Rob]

Hi All,

I was wondering who could answer the following question.... I want to startup MS-Outlook automatically when windows start and i want Outlook to move to the system tray immediately. This is how far i came:

1) I update the register with the MinimizeToTray key.
So, when i press the minimize button in outlook, it moves to the tray. So far so good! Outlook does remember my passwords, so no worry about this.

2) I made a shortcut on my desktop to Outlook and adapted the 'Run' field to minimized.
Now, Outlook runs minimized, BUT it does not go to the system tray!!! When i maximize it and then press minimize, it does go to the system tray....

Anyone a clue how to start Outlook and minimize it directly to the system tray???

Thans in advance,
Rob
