    Why not just keep outlook open and when you need organizer/calendar/planner, just switch to the outlook window.

    If you don't like that, there are alternatives
    - outlook tasts in windows sidebar
    - sticky notes in windows sidebar
    - calendar in windows sidebar

    all free and you can move them around..etc
