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? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

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. "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ...

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. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

That would suggest something about XP SP2 'cause that is not the case with
XP SP1 PCs.

And I just found a slew of these type posts in microsoft.public.outlook
(makes since) going back to early last year: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...&output=gplain http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...&output=gplain 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. "Shocca" wrote in message ... That would suggest something about XP SP2 'cause that is not the case with XP SP1 PCs.
