Outlook General >> outlook 2003 sp3 opens two Inbox windows When I open outlook 2003 sp3, either thru Start/Programs or from a Desktop
shortcut (with a single mouse click), two separate identical Inbox windows
open. I only have one email account and my OS is XP Home. Any ideas please
to stop the duplicated windows?

Thanks

Outlook General >> outlook 2003 sp3 opens two Inbox windows Not sure if you created the desktop shortcut icon to start Outlook, but if
you did, can you check to see if it uses the "/recycle" switch after
outlook.exe?

Outlook General >> outlook 2003 sp3 opens two Inbox windows Spot on Neo!

Properties for the Desk top shortcut icon, which I created, does show the
'/recycle' switch. When I go to the target, it only shows 'outlook.exe'. My
msge might not have been clear. When I do a single click from
Start/Programs, I also get two Inbox windows.

You should be able to close one of those windows (the second one to open).
Then, close the first with File>Exit. See if that stops the behavior.

Many thanks. Your suggestion worked and now I only get one Inbox window.
