Assuming outlook.exe is in the PATH variable:
Open a new file in notepad or your favourite text editor, and put the following line in it ONLY outlook.exe \cleanreminders Save it as a .bat file anywhere you like, and heypresto. Alternatively, don't use a batch file. You could create a new short cut on the start menu (or desktop etc) that points to outlook.exe & has the parameter on it you need. If you want a better explaination of this, let me know. |

try
START "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /cleanreminders and save it in a .bat file. Make sure the location of the outlook app is correct. Hope it helps! EDIT -> Or do what Baph says.....same effect but cleaner

Why a batch file? Surely it only needs the shortcut to include the switch?

Assuming you're using Office 2003...
Right click the desktop Choose New --> Shortcut Type "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\office11\outlook.exe" /cleanreminders Click Next Name the shortcut Click Finish Sorted
