Is Outlook ICON hard wired?

[George]

Am using WinXP-pro and wondered if the OutlookXP(2002) icon has some special
status on the desktop. As with most Windows, there are two "groups" of
icons on the main DESKTOP.



The first group has system things like MyComputer, RecycleBin, IntExplorer,
and Outlook icon on my PC.



The second group has icon shortcuts to applications like Word, Excel,
Acrobat, Dialup, whatever. I can generally easily control which icons go
where in various menus (like rt click desktop > properties. customize
desktop). And I can delete and add these icons at will.



I can't find anywhere how the OUTLOOK icon got into the SYSTEM section up
there alongside RecycleBin. Obviously "install Outlook" put in there in the
beginning, but where is this controlled/changed AFTER installation, and if I
DELETE it, can I easily put it back later into the SYSTEM group again later.
(I don't want to have to do a complete Outlook uninstall/reinstall just to
put back a deleted icon).



Is it possible for me to put OTHER icons of my choosing into the SYSTEM
group also.



Thanks,

George
