How Do I Get Microsoft Outlook Out?

[Guest]

Somewhere during my most recent button-pushing, I have managed to get the
icon for the program Microsoft Outlook onto my desktop, and I want the icon
off. (I want to keep the program, and the icon is not a shortcut, but the
actual program) Can anyone tell me how to do this without deleting the
program? I've had to do this once before in a time long ago...but I've
forgotten how I did it. Thanks.

The default location is;

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE

Assuming it is there you can delete the copies.

If what's on your desktop is the actual program, all you have to do is open
a Windows Explorer window and drag the icon from the desktop to its proper
place in the file system tree.

Thanks Dave and Norm,
The icon was identified as a "system folder" in Explorer. Apparently, it got
installed during an Office update. After trying to gently "nudge" it to the
proper directory, I simply deleted it on the desktop, against a mild warning,
but with no apparent negative aftereffects. I rarely use Outlook. Again,
thanks.
