Default Forcing Outlook shortcuts to appear on startup

I am running Outlook 2003 and Windows XP. I'm trying to edit my
registry to force Outlook to open in shortcuts mode using the
following instructions from Slipstick.com:

Go to the key
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Option s\WunderBar and change
the value of the BootModule DWORD entry. These are the known valid
entries:
0 Start with Mail folders displayed
5 Start with Folder List displayed
6 Start with Shortcuts list displayed



Using the value 5, I can get Outlook to start in Folder List mode
successfully. However, using the value 6, Outlook simply starts in
Mail mode, and when I return to the Registry the value has been re-set
to 0.

Can anyone help me please? Many thanks.

You need to have the default Inbox shortcut in the Shortcut navigation for
it to work.

Note that Outlook starts in the Navigation you closed Outlook in
