Launching Outlook from Command Prompt

Hi All,

When I do start>run and type "outlook", outlook launches successfully, even
though the path to outlook isn't set. If I try to type in outlook in command
prompt, outlook doesn't launch.

Any ideas where start>run gets the path to outlook from? This also seem to
work if I do a 'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("outlook.exe")' under
vb.net

I'd really like to know how to determine the path to outlook.exe, given
that, as I said, it's not in path variable.

Any help/directions much appreciated
