Microsoft Outlook
Summary: Outlook is designed to be a single-instance application. There's an unwieldy trick to get more than one that may, or may not, be useful. I need to open more then one instance of Outlook at the same time with a different profile on each instance. Can this be done? Yes and no. But most probably no. Outlook is a single instance application so for any user session you can have one - and only one- instance of outlook running. There is a 'trick' you can play. Windows XP will allow you to stay logged in as one user while logging in as another. Select Logoff and then Switch User. The first account remains logged in while the second account logs in as well. Each of these users can have their own copy of Outlook running. The caveat of course is that they must be different user accounts on the machine. • Article 237 | Posted June 2, 2004 |

how can i switch a profile in outlook 2002 without quiting outlook and reopen choosing a profile i wish to open
Posted by: zvIka at July 12, 2006 10:08 PMI don't believe you can. You must restart Outlook to change profiles.
Posted by: Hans at July 12, 2006 10:16 PMI am running a program called "True Launch Bar".
Posted by: David Adams at November 9, 2006 1:45 PMIt has a plug-in called "Mail Monitor".
If you set mail monitor to use Outlook as your mail reader, it will lauch a new and simultaneous instance of outlook without loging off and on. Appaently as many as you want. Is there a way to keep outlook from launching more than once? Perhaps in the registry?
If someone has sent you a meeting request that you have not answered, you can click the "calendar" button (right side of upper bar) and that will open a second window that has full functionality. This second window will usually reopen if you allow Windows to close Outlook on shutdown and it is able to do so successfully.

Posted by: HomeTeam at April 17, 2007 2:14 PMIs there a way to have OL running with a specific profile... and also be able to open TASKS with a separate profile.. essentially, adding another TASKS Section to use..
I made a copy of outlook.exe (OL 2000) named outlook2.exe. But outlook2.exe would use the same profile as the aleady started outlook.exe even with the /profile parameter.
