How do I remove the /recycle switch from Microsoft Office Outlook

112 New Member
I have an issue where I have a GUI that I created, that updates every time a new line is added to a log file that I am tailing. If the GUI does not have focus, it is supposed to flash in the toolbar, which it does when I have focus on firefox, putty sessions, remedy, etc. This works perfectly fine.

The only time this doesn’t work is when I am looking at my inbox of Microsoft Outlook. The GUI steals focus from Microsoft Outlook.



I found a solution online:
Outlook steals focus and brings itself to the front multiple times when starting up. It's highly annoying, but it can be stopped. The villain is the /recycle switch that is added to the default shortcut for Microsoft Office Outlook in the Quick Launch toolbar. Removing the switch will make Outlook more behaved when it's starting.



My question is:
How do I remove the /recycle switch?

If you right click the shortcut and click on properties, the switch should be in the target textbox.

when i click on the start button on the lower left hand corner, the shortcut I have is called E-Mail, Microsoft Office Outlook, and when I click on properties, I have a mail setup - outlook box that has three options, e-mail accounts, data files and show profiles. Is the target textbox in one of those?

I went into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 folder and created a new shortcut for Outlook.exe. I then went into properties and there was no /recycle switch in the target textbox. Am I missing something because the GUI still steals focus from my inbox when I have focus on the inbox.

Thanks!

actually, disregard this issue. I am trying to get the GUI i created to stop stealing focus from my Microsoft Outlook, not the other way around.

thanks
