Outlook Views Pinned to Your Desktop

I just came across this post on the Office Tweaks blog. The little application takes your Outlook information: Calendar, Inbox, Notes, Tasks, Contacts and puts them on your desktop so they’re always available.

The application comes from Michael Scrivo and I think he’s done an excellent job with this little application. One annoyance I already have though is that you want to make sure you don’t have any icons of stuff you need behind your Outlook view. You can’t click on them through the display. Something I think would be a nice addition would be to have a keyboard hot key that brings the view “Active” above your icons, otherwise the default is that it’s only a view to the information initially.

Great tool though. I’ve got it installed and will be playing with it for a little bit. The application only works with Windows 2000 and up, so give it a try if you’re running one of those OS’s.
