By default, when you launch Outlook it opens to your Inbox. You can create a shortcut to Outlook so it opens to your calendar instead. To force Outlook to open your calendar as your default view, do the following:

  • 1.Right-click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
  • 2.Provide the location for the shortcut to Outlook 2003:
  • "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11Outlook.exe" /select outlook:calendar
