Brian: I'm butting in hoping it may help MEG. Did you really mean to say "xx"
is version of Outlook? "xx" appears in your string with Office, and
Outlook.exe is in Office 10 for me. I know this: Copy-Paste your string and
put 10 for xx and my Dist List name for dlname in the string and I get
Cannot find file "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe" . The
quotes before C: and after Outlook.exe are to be there, Right? Any other
ideas?

How do I set up a shortcut on my desktop to a new e-mail with a
distribution list?

Right-click your desktio and choose NewShortcut. In the "Type the location
of the item" box, enter

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Officexx\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.note /m dlname

where "xx" reflects your version of Outlook. Click Next. Give your
shortcut a name and click Finish.
