Let's say I've xxx#outlook.com and yyy#outlook.com both are configured in my outlook where xxx#outlook.com is my default account.
The following command opens a new window in outlook and navigates to the zz folder in Drafts in xxx#outlook.com.
Outlook.exe /select outlook:Drafts/zz
I wonder is there a way to perform this same operation on the yyy#outlook.com (Anything other than the default account). I tried the following but it didn't help.
Outlook.exe /select outlook:yyy#outlook.com:Drafts/zz
I want to select a folder from a non default account through command line. Any ideas?
I just found an answer. Its so simple. I don't know how I missed this.
Outlook.exe /select "outlook:\\yyy#outlook.com\Drafts\zz"
It may be helpful for others.

I’m (still) running Win-7 Home Premium. I understand the risks and, for a number of reasons, still DO NOT want to upgrade to Win-10 or to rebuild my win-7 installation to correct this problem. The system was built 8 years ago and, over the years, I have created and deleted numerous user accounts. I currently have three user accounts:
Administrator (SID 500)
AdminUser (SID 1003)
NormalUser (SID 1007)
Somewhere along the way, I deleted the original user account that Windows created during its original install which I believe was assigned SID 1000.
On the current system, things generally work as desired. But I occasionally encounter strange behavior and failures. During troubleshooting, I discovered that many folders retain ACL entries that refer to the now-orphaned SID 1000. For example, the command
icacls c:\ProgramData /save output.txt
produces the following
ProgramData
D:PAI(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;FA;;;S-1-5-21-xxx-yyy-zzz-1000)
The above indicates that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and BUILTIN\Administrators have Full Control permissions. It also lists the full SID for the now-orphaned 1000 user account. I'd like to remove these references to the bogus SID, but the command:
icacls C:\ProgramData /remove S-1-5-21-xxx-yyy-zzz-1000
does nothing when run from an elevated command prompt, reporting Successfully processed 0 files. When using File Manager, the Remove button is grayed-out on the Advanced Security Settings dialog of the Security tab of the Folder’s Properties. So I cannot remove the permission that way either.
How do I remove the reference to this orphaned SID? Or change it to refer to a legitimate SID?
Alternatively, how do I change the SID associated with the existing 1003 user to 1000 so that references to SID 1000 get properly resolved to an active user account?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
No sooner did I post my question, than I found an answer:
Right-click a File Explorer shortcut pinned to my TaskBar
Select Run as Administrator
Browse to the desired Folder, right-click and select Properties
Select the Security Tab
Remove the undesired User
Not sure why I didn't think to use an elevated File Explorer earlier. But it successfully updated the ACLs and now the references to the bogus SID are gone. :-)
There was a tool subinacl.exe that was provided by Microsoft until 2004. It is a bit hard to find now (see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/i-wanted-to-download-subinacl-but-i-cant-find-it/a8bf4c50-1d43-4f03-b6f9-f62deab010fb ).
With this tool you can remove all invalid SIDs from a folder and subfolders.
subinacl /subdirectories "C:\folder\*.*" /cleandeletedsidsfrom=<domain>
It was helpful for me, but the output seems to be corrupt. So I bypassed the output to a file by >logfile.txt
Is there a way to link to Outlook opening a new compose window with the to and subject fields pre-filled?
Below does not work:
https://outlook.live.com/mail/compose?subject=bla
You could probably try this. It opens compose correctly for me on browser.
https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/deeplink/compose?to=test#gmail.com&subject=test&body=testing
Outklook.com? No. Outlook the Windows client? Sure: mailto:user#example.com?subject=test%20subject
To open desktop Outlook, run the following from command line. I don't think you can specify subject or body, only the email:
outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m test#domain.demo
Outlook 2007
While composing a new message in outlook can a link be created to other messages?
Whww I am composing a new mail I would like to create a link to asent item, clicking this link should then open the message.
Can this be done?
Microsoft has a support KB on hyperlinks to access Outlook folders and items:
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/158135
However, the Outlook: scheme is not registered by default with newer versions of outlook.
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/using-outlook-links/
I verified that the registry editing technique to associate "outlook:" with opening Outlook items ( http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-missing-outlook-protocol/ ) works for Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1, so I imagine it would work for earlier versions too.
I needed to do the same thing in Outlook 2013. I was able to do so without any registry editing. (I believe such editing is only necessary if you want the links to work outside of Outlook)
I wanted to create a link to an email that I had stored in the following Outlook folder: My Projects\Set 1\. The subject line of the email was Testing links. Here's the steps to do so:
Right-click on the folder in which the target email is stored -> Choose Properties...
Copy the full Location path (in my case this was \\MyEmail#my.domain\My Projects. (Note that this doesn't include the parent folder itself; Use the description box (or some other convenient location) to paste that path, then append the folder. So in my case the full path looked like \\MyEmail#my.domain\My Projects\Set 1.
Open up the email that you want to paste the link into.
Create a normal hyperlink
In the Address field type Outlook: followed by the path you created in Step 2 above, followed by a backslash and tilde, followed by the subject line of the target email. So for me, that whole address looks like this: Outlook:\\MyEmail#my.domain\My Projects\~Testing links
Done.
I have an addin program that works with MS Word (version 2007). It is located in the C:\Program Files location. I installed Windows 7 and then went to make a routine change to my files in this location and it would only bring up a read only file. How can I grant myself permission to write to my own program? I cannot change this location or use any other workaround. I have this product out to 25 different companies and I can't change the programming to work from any other location. Thanks
You could also embed a manifest in your EXE that makes your program require adminrights on Windows 7 / Vista.
On Windows Vista, UAC means that users run without admin rights and don't have write access to the program files directories.
The correct solution is to write to a folder for which standard users do have write permissions.
The solution you are looking for is to make your app's folder within program files writeable to all users. You can do this by adding a DACL when installing. It is extremely bad practice to allow standard users to write inside the program files directory and I urge you instead to re-code your app so that it does not need to write there.
Assuming you're doing this as part of modifying the config (and not when your application is running for regular users)...
Your user account probably doesn't have the correct permissions to write/modify the file. Assuming your account is an administrator account, right-click the file, select "Properties". Click the "Security" tab. Click edit and give your user account Full Control.
If you can't do this, it's probably because the ownership of the file doesn't allow you. If this is the case, click on "Advanced", go to the "Owner" tab, and click "Edit".
However, if it needs these permissions when it's running, you should instead be using the %AppData% folder.
I am writing an application in VC++(unmanaged) which is going to run in xp and above PC's. I need to add an functionality which will allow the user to see the directories being suggested as the user types the path in a stext box. This is similar to the behaviour of the run dialog in vista/7.
Thanks in advance,
John.
