Outlook Icon on Desktop.
I thought it was a fluke the first tiem I installed
Office 2K3. But it's more than a fluke as this has happened to me several times now. I install Office under one user, than the desktop icons disappear for all other users. This becomes a problems for me. Now I'm not just talking about a simple shortcut. I could copy and paste that easily. What I want is the non-shortcut that sits on the desktop. If you right click it it should give you the control panel mail setup. I've looked through the KB and newsgroup entries but founf nothing so far. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

If you really want it back, you can edit the registry and add: HKCU or HKLM \ Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Desktop\NameSpace\{00020D 75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} No value... just the presence of the key will re-register the Explorer Extension and display the old icon. You can add this back manually using the Deployment Tools (CIW/CMW) if you so desire. HKLM puts it there for the whole machine, HKCU for just you. -- Athena |

Awesome Athena, that worked! One minor problem though.
When I right click and go to properties, I get three application errors. Anyway to stop this? The first error says: "The instruction ... referenced memory at ... the memory could not be read. The next two errors say: "The exception unknown software exception ... occured in the application at location ... The second and third messages don't always happen, but they usually do. Any thoughts on this one? Mike -----Original Message----- On Wed, 12 May 2004 14:14:47 -0700 Mike Busch wrote: What I want is the non-shortcut that sits on the desktop.

Here's a lesson from IT 101.
A simple reboot seems to have solved the problem. :P Thanks again Athena. Mike |
