Outlook 2010 supports a number of command-line switches that modify the way the program starts and functions. Although you can issue the Outlook.exe command with switches
from a command prompt, it’s generally more useful to specify switches through a shortcut,
particularly if you want to use the same set of switches more than once
some of the startup switches that you can use to modify the way Outlook 2010 starts and
functions.
Modifying a shortcut to add command-line switches
Copy the shortcut of outlook in c:\program files\microsoft office\office14 to desktop
right click the shortcut on desktop and add switch to target item.
