Free Microsoft Outlook Tool

[beatmix01]

Just found this one... Lets you minimize Outlook to your system tray so it doesn't sit on your taskbar. Also has minimal anti-spam measures.
Been using it for a while and I love it!

You can have that for free with one registry edit. Without ANY SPAM!

Don't have to reboot after the registry tweak; just restart outlook.

This feature is built into Outlook 2003. They listened to a lot of suggestions...

 

[beatmix01]

cool variable!

 

[jalaram]

Is that available for Outlook 2000 as well?

 

[DeweySS]

This is great!

Thanks beatmix01

 

[Zeeeter]

My company is still in the dark ages with Outlook 98. Is there a similar registry hack for this as well?

 

[Twinhead]

great tool!

 

[dquan97]

Great idea!

 

[SharkyTM]

this has been over in the software forum for a while, but nice to see it here

 

[OldTechnoid]

Now how's about a similar fix for all task bar entries?

THX for the post... I did the hack. I leave Outlook running at all times so I can recieve e-mail. I have always wished I didn't have to use up taskbar real estate on it.

Cool fix. But what I really need is a way to make Outlook open new Internet Explorer Window instead of using that one that is on. Any1 know how?

Sometime I play pool in yahoo and click on that damn link and it change my yahoo game to open that link. It's annoying. Sometime I leave the window there for a reason and it just change it.

This is the add-in that I use. It does the minimize to tray as one of its options. It also lets you select what attachment types to block or turn off HTML mail.

Go to Internet Options, Advanced, and uncheck Reuse windows for launching shortcuts.
Or, you could open a new IE window before you click each link. 😛
