Another meaning of shortcut:
You can create a shortcut on your desktop to create a new message without having to start Outlook first. OK. The shortcut starts Outlook and opens the new message dialog. Create a batch file named newmessage.bat or any name that appeals with the extension .bat:
%echo off
start outlook.exe /c ipm.note
exit
You can execute newmessage.bat by saving the batch file to your desktop folder or by saving the batch file in the folder where outlook.exe is found and then creating a shortcut on the desktop which calls newmessage.bat.
