Odd, though you were around then. :-) Maybe you just started using Office
2003. Anyway yes to your question of a custom transform and yes it is set
to
install the desktop icon. It created it on the 150 test Windows 2000 PC,
but
not the 125 test XP PCs due to logo compliance they say. 80 of those 125
users emailed me asking for the "real" (brings up mail setup when you
right
click and select properties) old Outlook icon back and not some chessy
shortcut. Despite the fact we sent out an advanced notic that it would not
be there and how they could grab the one from the start menu (if using
XP-style theme). They never read such emails. Anyway for the 8000 we will
be
copy the one that gets pinned to the start menu.

That would suggest something about XP SP2 'cause that is not the case
with
XP SP1 PCs. Google on 'Outlook 2003 Desktop Icon' :

Here is some hits for you:

Um, I have installed Office 2003 on all of my test machines here, with
SP-2
for Windows XP slipstreamed and as an upgrade. The Outlook icon
installs
every time.

Are you using a Custom Installation Wizard? There is a setting in
there
if
you look closely that allows you to suppress the desktop icon. You
probably
have that switch set to on=suppress.

|||
||| 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.
