SYMPTOMS
When you start the Outlook client executable from the Start, Run command prompt, you receive the following error message if the backslash for the switch is not present:

Unable to display the selected folder or item. Can't find this file. Make sure the path and filename are correct.

Here is an example:

Outlook resetfolders

The proper syntax is:

Outlook /resetfolders
