cannot locate outlook express icon

[Guest]

The only way I can connect to outlook express is via internet explorer. Have
searched and searched and cannot locate the outlook express mail icon in any
of my outlook files.

Hi FranSea,

Create a Desktop shortcut to this file:

%Programfiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe

You may then move the shortcut to the Quick Launch area.

Make a shortcut on your desktop and use the following path:
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

The above assumes a standard installation with C as the system drive.

You're welcome!

FYI: This command (for XP SP1 and above) re-creates the OE shortcut automatically in your Start Menu > Programs:

shmgrate.exe OCInstallUserConfigOE
(From Start/Run dialog)

Hi Ramesh!

Hey, we've been getting pretty wet out here the last couple of weeks! Don't
think you folks in India weren't on my mind! Of course in our case, the
deluge was from a California Monsoon as opposed to a tsunami.
