View Outlook Data From Outside of Outlook

[Marc Bressman]

I currently use Outlook 2003 for a variety of tasks, but often I have it minimized or open on a different view and need to get information from within it (or elsewhere within it). However, I find it cumbersome at times to have to go through all the steps to do something such as open an appointment, task, etc. Is there any sort of plug-in or tool that I can use to quickly access data I need from within Outlook without having to use the Outlook interface. Something like a floating or docked (to my taskbar) toolbar where I can type in what I'm looking for or search for data and it will pull it up in the appropriate outlook form. I know Google Desktop offers something along these lines, but I don't like how it has to constantly index my computer. I currently use MuvEnum Address Bar (to replace the lost taskbar address bar in WinXP SP3) and using it I can quickly launch applications in my start menu, run commands, etc. Something like this but for Outlook would be great!

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
