Outlook today - Easiest access for the desktop PC - Today screen on the desktop

[IceCaveman]

Hi I'm new to this forum, I got my PDA in February and it changed my life-style more than I had ever imagined.

Hovever I would like to know if it was possible to put the Outlook Today screen on the desktop of my PC or some similar "as quick access as possible " as I don't like opening up outlook and open the today page every time I turn on my PC, sure I could make it run at start-up but it's not the same easy access. I searched for something on google but I came up empty so now I seek your advice.

Ofcourse something like on this image on Thurrott's page would be best :roll: but ofcourse Microsoft would only make it available for Tablet PCs in the future and not for desktop machines :cry:

Yeah, I've tried to do some stuff with the outlook URLs in the past to get it to show up on the desktop, but nothing works right. I know some people use Samurize and other desktop scripts to put calendar stuff on their desktops, but I'm not sure if that data comes from Outlook or not. Anyone know?

Ah, I see you're from neowin too, icecaveman. :) Saw your avatar while on neowin and thought I saw it somewhere else lol.

I've used Rainlendar (http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/) for calendar and tasks in the past, and found it useful. I haven't used it recently, but it's had an upgrade or two since then, so it can only have improved :)

I believe Activesync remote display may be what you are looking for. It can be a little slow but it certainly works for me.
