How can I set up to use "Ctrl-Enter" to send an e-mail?

I have a home computer and one in my office. Both have Office 2003, same
program. One computer allows me to SEND e-mails by pressing "Ctrl-Enter"
rather than grabbing the mouse and clicking on the Send button. The other
computer does not allow this. How can I find the option to use the
"Ctrl-Enter" step?
 
Should be default. What version of Outlook are we talking about here?

MSOffice Basic Ed. 2003 (11.6359.6408)--if that is the info. you need. The oddity is that the same version is on both computers, but only one has this Ctrl-Enter operational.
 
See if resetting the Toolbar fixes it for you. To do this rename outcmd.dat
to outcmd.old when Outlook is closed.

Have re-installed Office 2003; apparently the file you mentioned was factory installed or is in a hidden file, but I can not find it on this computer. Any suggestions?
 
It's a hidden file that by default can be found here;
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

We have found the application files and made the change you recommended
(outcmd.dat to outcmd.old) and the problem was not fixed. Any more
suggestions?
