Creating Desktop Shortcuts for Outlook 2007 notes

I like to have a desktop shortcut for my TODO note in Outlook. The way this is done changed in Outlook 2007:

1. Right-click on your desktop and select New -> Shortcut
2. You'll be prompted for a target program. Locate outlook.exe.
3. Right-click on the new shortcut and select Properties
4. Add the /select switch to the command-line. Here's an example:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OUTLOOK.EXE" /select outlook:Notes/~TODO

The name after the tilde (~) is the name of note you want to open.
