Default Outlook 2003 Desktop Icon

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
