SYMPTOMS
When you use a command-line switch to control what happens when you start Microsoft Outlook, you may receive an error message such as:

Cannot find the file "Outlook /cleanreminders" (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.



CAUSE
The command-line switch is included within the path and enclosed within quotation marks.



MORE INFORMATION
To use command-line switches, follow these steps:  Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type

outlook /cleanreminders

There is a space character between Outlook and the forward slash (/). Click OK.

The standard installation path for Outlook is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe

The following set of steps apply if you have installed Outlook to a path other than the standard installation path:
 * 1) On the Start menu, click Run.
 * 2) Click Browse. Locate the Outlook executable file, and then click Open.
 * 3) Type a space after the listed path, and then type the command-line switch.

NOTE: If the path contains spaces, you must enclose the path in quotation marks (""), and use the correct case for each character in the path. The command-line switch must be typed outside of the quotation mark.
 * 1) Click OK to start Outlook using the switch.
