Because it does not on XP PCs. Why do you think it does? Behaps you are
thinking of Office XP. This is Office 2003 and the Outlook shortcut is not
created on the desktop.

It already installs the "special" shortcut to the Windows XP desktop. Why
do you think it does not?

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Shocca asked:

| I know it is not created on XP PCs to be XP logo compliant. Is it
| created on 2K PCs if there is a previous icon there?
|
| When in XP theme there is an "E-Mail" special shortcut created/pinned
| on the Start menu. Is this specific to that one PC it is created on
| (meaning is there PC specific data in the shortcut)? I don't think so
| as I just copied one from my PC to another XP PC and it worked. Even
| when I switch it to classic mode. I am thinking (since all users want
| this shortcut on their desktop like our Outtlook 2002 one) I will
| check for OS, and if XP I will copy a saved/renamed copy of the
| special shortcut to our users desktop from my install directory.
| Anyone doing that?
