Outlook: Customization Tips

1. Start Outlook in a folder other than Inbox   On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Other tab. In the Advanced Options dialog box, set the startup folder that you want.

3. Quickly change the time zone for all Windows-based programs  Right-click the space at the top of the time bar when you view days in Calendar, and then click Change Time Zone on the shortcut menu.
