minimize outlook to system tray

[jfc1003]

How do I set Outlook to minimize to the system tray?

I am deploying it as a software package with a transform file.

Anyone know of a way to set this up so Outlook automatically starts with login in a minimized state in the system tray?

I think I got the start up part of it, but the only thing I can find on the system tray issue is to edit the registry in the "current user" section. Well, unfortunately this part of the registry section called "outlook --> preferences" does not even exist on my Windows XP clients after deployment.

Thanks for any tips!

Okay,tis works great on my laptop

My problem is none of the clients have this in their registry.

It stops at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0
The outlook folder is not there. Do I need to create an Outlook\preferences folder so I can do this?

The folder is in my registry on my latop, but all of the clients at work received Outlook 2002 via a deployment package and transform file. Any ideas why they dont have that entry, or how to add it? I have gone throught the transform file options, but I didnt catch nay settings that would have disallowed this entry

Thanks!

Jason, until Outlook is actually used, it won't be in the registry.

For issues like this, yes, I believe you need to create the registry folder...
