Thank you Pete. My shortcut had nothing in the "Default Directory" field. The shortcut was created by the 2.03 installer.<br><br>I did some testing and it looks like when the "default directory" field is blank in a shortcut that it launches applications in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT on my system.<br><br>I hunted around but did not see an obvious way around this nor a way to detect that you were launched via a shortcut and if so, which one. You are right - it looks like a pain to deal with gracefully!<br><br><br><br>
