I am using Outlook 2007 w/bcm in single user environment. I noticed that my
start-up command includes the switch "/recycle" (set by Office installation.
When I look up the switch commands on the MS web site it says that the
recycle switch should be used in conjunction with /folders or /explorer. I
did not see these switches listed and I was wondering if someone could
explain to me if I should be have it switched the way it is presently or
make some changes.

Does it work the way you want it to?

If yes, then no, you shouldn't make any changes.

If no, then yes, you should make changes.

f.h.

Outlook usually works fine but sometimes I have problems when exiting and
some other minor issues and do not know if it has anything to do with the
switches

I'm doubting that it is, but, well, try it with one, then try it with the
other.

recycle means it reuses the window - if you click the shortcut 5 times
you'll only get one window, not 5. it doesn't require folders or explorer
switches but is handy if you use them as it keeps you from opening a lot of
windows.

Thanks for the explanation, do you suggest any other switches to be added to
my normal short cut?

that's all you need unless you want to do something specific when you open
it - usually for troubleshooting.

there is a list of the most commonly used switches he
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm and a link to another page
with all the possible switches.
