OK so what happens if you now type:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe":

If that fails try:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook"

Either one it tries to open & fails

Ah so you get the same error message appear as when you try and run it normally?

This is a good thing

Now try entering

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe" /resetnavpane

Quite literally as shown with the " at the start and end of the first part

You could even copy that and right click on the blue bar where it says "Command Prompt" and select Edit/Paste and then just press return.
