Guest Jasper Recto Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 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

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. [X-Post: 3 Groups] -- d-d
