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.

Viewing another user's Desktop Folder on XP

I have two computers on my network and I like to move files back and forth. Normally, the user's account folder (C:\Documents and Settings\) is not accessible. However, if you know the login for that user, you can access it. Go to Control Panel, User Accounts, select the account you are currently logged in as, then Manage my network passwords, then click Add. Type the server and login for the user's account you want access to.
