Pin outlook to the start menu or task bar and right click - do you have a
flyout with new items listed? If not, you can probably use http://sunflowerhead.com/software/quickicons/index.html - either way, outlook will need to open to actually make the appointment (or any new item). If you use a POP3 account this should be pretty seamless but if you use Exchange or password protect your pst, you'll have to log into the account to create a new item. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: "Charles" wrote in message ...

Any other options?

quickicons is compatible with outlook 2007 - it adds buttons to quick
launch, then you can pin them to start or taskbar just as you would any other item. All it does is make the shortcuts for you using this command line - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c IPM.APPOINTMENT - you could easily do it yourself. The pinned items are just shortcuts in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned. The quick launch icons are in that path, just move them from quick launch folder to the pinned start menu or taskbar folders. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: "Charles" wrote in message ...

New Appointment Short Cut in System Tray
BTW - if you really want it in the tray, see if this works in Win7:
http://sunflowerhead.com/software/knockout/. I don't know if any of the office gadets (for vista) offer new item creation but the gadgets tend not to play nice with outlook and only work if its open. A shortcut is really better. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... quickicons is compatible with outlook 2007 - it adds buttons to quick launch, then you can pin them to start or taskbar just as you would any other item.

Hi Diane, Got it working, quickicons does work, I just didn't realise it only puts icons in quicklaunch folder of win 7 and by default win 7doesn't load all shortcuts automatically. Thanks for your help. Charles
