This happend in my windows 2000 installation and now again in my XP pro
installation. Outlook 2003 puts an extra icon in my quicklaunch area. I only
put one there myself. I have about 40 programs that I create quicklaunch
icons for. When I put one there for Outlook, it added a 2nd one on its own.
When I delete one of them it appears again later. As far as I can tell they
both open Outlook in the same way.
What's interesting is that the tooltips are different for each one. The
first one says "Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Send and receive e-mail;
manage yoru schedule, contacts, and tasks; and record your activities by
using Microsoft Outlook." The 2nd one says simply "Launch Microsoft Office
Outlook". And the first one is a shortcut to the Outlook application and the
properties window does not give me any ability to edit things like the
target or find the target. The 2nd one lets me edit most of the shortcut
properties and the target is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle
Can anyone tell me why there are 2 and how to get rid of one of them
(permanently)? It's not really a big deal but it's a little annoying and
take up a spot I could use for something else.
Thanks,
Keith
