In general I wouldn't recommend adding those switches to the normal startup
shortcut, but if you keep having these problems you can reconsider that.

Thanks ken, this fixed my problem.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't just add those switches to my regular
start up?

I don't know why I lost reminders (I don't sync), but it took almost a
whole
day (of missed meeting start times!) before I discovered it.

Thanks

Rick
