There may be better or more elegant ways of doing this and if anyone knows of one, please say so. This should work for most versions of Outlook.

If like several of my colleagues you want something like the old behaviour back, this is what I pulled out of my hatch for them - it's not elegant but you're welcome to try it and see if it works for you: You can hold down the C key on your keyboard to instantly boot to a Mac OS X or other bootable disc in your Mac.

Also, I'm not an every window maximised kinda guy. I prefer the new behaviour, but then I only really use Outlook at work and have it up in its own dedicated monitor there. If you’ve not noticed, then you probably don’t think it’s a problem, and as it happens, this new behaviour is by design so that you don’t unknowingly dismiss the reminder window by hitting enter. If you’ve got Windows 7 and Outlook, you may have noticed that the Outlook reminders window doesn’t pop up and steal focus any more… which means that if you’re an every window maximised kinda guy, then you don’t always notice the reminders anymore and sometimes miss meetings.
