When I open Outlook 2003, I can click on buttons to open additional windows, for example, leaving a mail window open and having another window open with my calendar for the week.

If I do a shutdown or restart without closing Outlook first, the next time I start Outlook after the reboot, the same multiple windows come up again. If I just close Outlook, only the single default window comes up.

Is there an explicit setting to get Outlook to remember what windows I want?

Searches have come up with too much information that is not specific to this situation.
