Start with Inbox and new window with "For Follow Up" on top

[fmlab]

I am looking for a way to start OL2003 right in my Inbox, and my "For Follow Up" folder in a new window on top of the other window.
Commandline switches didn`t do any help so far.
Anyone got an idea?

you tried the /select command line switch?

Now I figured out how to get to the desired folder (with /select). What I still have a problem with is switching the navigation pane off. Neither ...outlook.exe /folder (just shows another window _with_ nav-pane nor ...outlook.exe /select someFolder /folder (does not work at all) works here.
Any suggestions?

I'm not entirely sure you can use multiple switches with the "select" command. However, for what it's worth, if you open the calendar in regular view, then remove the navigation pane manually, the next time you open it, it will be off.

Could you tell me how to place 2 shortcuts in one? I don`t wanna use batch, so whats the best way to open two instances of OL with one shortcut?

I don't think you can, but I did find this:
