Not that I know of. On startup, it will display whatever calendar view was last used in Outlook.

But you can right-click the desktop calendar and use "Go to This Day". Use "Go to Date..." to
change to week or month view.

That is cool, cool, cool.

Question: is there a way to change your HTML code such that it would display
today and the taskpad, as opposed to the month?

Thanks

Copy the following to notepad (watch for wordwrap, each grouping is one
line) and save as a .html
file. Double-click the file to verify it functions in IE. If all is
good, you can use the file as
your desktop or an Active Desktop Web item. I would recommend the
latter -- if you make the
calendar your background, all your right-click options are for the
calendar, you'll lose your
desktop options.

html
body
object ID="Calendar" CLASSID="CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"
style="width:100%;height:100%"
param NAME="Folder" VALUE="Calendar"
param NAME="Namespace" VALUE="MAPI"
param NAME="Restriction" VALUE
param NAME="DeferUpdate" VALUE="0"
/object
