Application switcher toolbar

[Arend]

I need a toolbar in my outlook which will shows all applications that are
running at any given time in my computer and to be able to choose the one I
need to work with.
I need therefore the ALT+ TAB function to be in a toolbar.
Is there any add-inn which produces what I need?

Thanks and regards,

Christos

Just curious why you would need this. You've got ALT+TAB and the Taskbar. I
think these solution will be faster (and more reliable and offer more
options and flexibility) in practically any case compared to what you want
in Outlook.

Because when you work with 20 applications running at de same time and within
each application 6 to 7 windows open, then you need to hit the tab 40 times
in order to get where you want. Let alone the time you spend reading below
the icons what each one of the same application (therefore the same icon) is
all about!
And if you miss one then you go for another 40 hits!!!
My keyboard has an application switcher but it doesn’t stay on top of the
other windows!!!!!
No need to tell you that on my taskbar you can't see a thing because
everything is squeezed to only the icon of the application I run!
If I had one drop down menu on my toolbar and within all running
applications grouped in an order I can customize, I would save daily a lot of
time and frustration !

Now that I have satisfied your curiosity would you tell me if you know
anything similar to what I asked!

Thanks and regards,

Christos

Simple solution, drag your taskbar up until it displays 2 or 3 levels.

Having a toolbar in Outlook is not going to help you if you are working in
Word or AutoCad. You need a universal solution, not one tied to a single
program.

I had tried this but the programs are still grouped and you need to process a
lot of actions in order to get there! Let alone that you loose half of your
screen!

The reason I need it in outlook is because outlook is the main program I
work with and there is not yet a “tab browser†to open 10 windows like it
will be thank god in IE7!
If this was possible I would save minimum 1 hour work time per day and 100
“kilowatts†of frustration searching to find the window I need!!!
And before you ask why I need 10 windows open I tell you that I process 200
mails a day and each mail needs to be processed with minimum 4 (outgoing).
And I still cannot understand why the options to make rules to outgoing mail
are so limited!!!!!!!!!!

Since you can't help me with the application switcher would you know how to
increase the options in making rules to outgoing mail? (Stop processing any
rules does not make the job in the ridiculous “move a copy†option) (I have
around 35 folders and I don’t know how many subfolders in my sent items main
folder)

And the option “perform a custom action†has a blank drop down menu!!!! Is
it my problem that this menu is blank? And if it is not how can I create
custom actions? (not in Visual Basic because I have no idea about it)
(recording macros in outlook would also be important to me! Is there any
add-in which does the job?

Thank you again.

Any toolbar to control window-switching would have to be built using Windows
code, not Outlook. Outlook has no control over Windows, um, windows and is
not aware of them programmatically so there is no "hook" in Outlook for this
type of programming.

VBA is the main method for programming in Outlook (there is also CDO and
Extended MAPI) but since you say you have no interest, I won't bother with
that. What type of custom action do you want Outlook rules to perform?
Note that custom actions are programmed, not a macro item.

Thanks for replying.

It is not that I have no interest! I do! But I just don’t know anything
about VBA! It all seems Chinese to me! (I won't say Greek because I am
Greek!!)

Currently I would like to know how I can move (not copy) a sent mail to a
selected folder and mark it for follow up with a specified flag! (I mark with
a green flag all mails that I send and I wait urgently for a reply! Then I
can check the day after who has not answered my request. (Easy because if
they do answer they reply to the same account I used to send the message in
the first place and this incoming mail is being by a rule moved to its folder
and marked with a green flag. And therefore with one click I can see to whom
I have sent a mail the day before and also who replied and who didn’t!

Complicated? But it saves me a huge amount of time!

Thanks again.

[Arend]

Example: I work in a travel agency and daily I receive say 100 e-mails of
different persons who are not in my contacts neither in a distribution list.
When I reply to each one of them I need my replies to be moved to the folder
2006 (path=PERSONAL FOLDERS/SENT ITEMS/GUESTS/2006 without leaving a copy in
my sent items default folder. All outgoing messages are being sent through a
specific account. Till here everything is fine. But the only choice is to
move a copy rather than moving the sent item. And as you already know I am
stuck with duplicates!!!!!
Any solution to this? (other than the one I found in www.howto-outlook.com,
which I’ve tried already but didn’t work, although I had placed the rule
first on the list of my rules)

Thanks again,
Christos

Don't you already have this rule in place? That is what I understood from

You did not read my mail. 100mails go to ONE folder!!!! Where did you read
many folders? Maybe this is why I have never been able to get an answer in

You said:

and

Typically, when users do these two things, it means each message goes to a
different folder.

Since you want all messages to go to a single folder that is not the Sent
folder, your best bet might be to use rules to move the mail to the folder
and enable the option to save sent items with the original, if it's not in
the inbox. That is assuming there is something you can use as a condition in
the rule. Then use Unread search folder to identify the messages you need to
work.

another option, if there is something common in all that you can use to
create a rule, is use auto-mate to move messages every few hours. I use it
to move messages marked complete to a completed folder. If you're cheap, you
can do something similar with rules and run it on a folder every few hours.

many folders? Maybe this is why I have never been able to get an answer in

Wow, a lot of reading here

What doesn't work for you with the rule? Where do the messages end up? I've
had possitive feedback on this article so I wonder why it doesn't work for
you.

To get back to the application drop down; how would CTRL+SHIFT+ESC work for
you? You can then easily list all the applications, sort them, select them
and tile them accordingly.

Tips of the month:
-FREE tool; QuickMail. Create new Outlook items anywhere from within Windows
-Properly back-up and restore your Outlook data

-----
Example: I work in a travel agency and daily I receive say 100 e-mails of
different persons who are not in my contacts neither in a distribution list.
When I reply to each one of them I need my replies to be moved to the folder
2006 (path=PERSONAL FOLDERS/SENT ITEMS/GUESTS/2006 without leaving a copy in
my sent items default folder. All outgoing messages are being sent through a
specific account. Till here everything is fine. But the only choice is to
move a copy rather than moving the sent item. And as you already know I am
stuck with duplicates!!!!!
Any solution to this? (other than the one I found in www.howto-outlook.com,
which I've tried already but didn't work, although I had placed the rule
first on the list of my rules)

Thanks again,
Christos

Don't you already have this rule in place? That is what I understood from
your first message?

||||| Since you can't help me with the application switcher would you
||||| know
||||| how to increase the options in making rules to outgoing mail?
||||| (Stop
||||| processing any rules does not make the job in the ridiculous
||||| Ãf¢ââ?s¬Ã.â?omove
||||| a copyÃf¢ââ?s¬Ã, option) (I have around 35 folders and I

||||| main folder)
|||||
||||| And the option Ãf¢ââ?s¬Ã.â?operform a custom
||||| actionÃf¢ââ?s¬Ã, has a blank drop down menu!!!! Is it my
||||| problem that this menu is blank? And if
||||| it is not
||||| how can I create custom actions? (not in Visual Basic because I
||||| have
||||| no idea about it) (recording macros in outlook would also be
||||| important to me! Is there any add-in which does the job?

|||||| After furious head scratching, Arend asked:
||||||
||||||| Because when you work with 20 applications running at de same
||||||| time
||||||| and within each application 6 to 7 windows open, then you need
||||||| to
||||||| hit the tab 40 times in order to get where you want. Let alone
||||||| the
||||||| time
||||||| you spend reading below the icons what each one of the same
||||||| application (therefore the same icon) is all about!
||||||| And if you miss one then you go for another 40 hits!!!
||||||| My keyboard has an application switcher but it
||||||| doesnÃfÆ'Ã,¢Ãf¢ââ,¬Å¡Ã,¬Ãf¢ââ,¬Å¾Ã,¢t stay on top of the
||||||| other windows!!!!! No need to tell you that on my taskbar you
||||||| can't see a thing
||||||| because everything is squeezed to only the icon of the
||||||| application I run!
||||||| If I had one drop down menu on my toolbar and within all running
||||||| applications grouped in an order I can customize, I would save
||||||| daily
||||||| a lot of time and frustration !
|||||||
||||||| Now that I have satisfied your curiosity would you tell me if
||||||| you
||||||| know anything similar to what I asked!
|||||||
