Outlook shortcut

[Guest Jasper Recto]

I had Office 2000 installed on my computer. If you right clicked on the

Outlook shortcut, you would be able to get the mail properties.

 

I recently removed Office 2000 and installed Office 2003. In doing so, I

lost my Outlook shortcut on my desktop. I can add the shortcut but It does

not give me the ability to right click and go into the mail properties to

setup my account.

 

How do I add that option to my desktop. I know I can get to the mail

options from the control panel by I want to be able to right click and get

it like I was able to with Office 2000.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Jasper

Start > Run: Regedit. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Create the subkey {00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and assign the

default value (right pane) "Microsoft Office Outlook" (w/o quotes).

Exit regedit and hit the [F5] key in order to refresh the desktop.
