That is a special icon linking to another shortcut. The easiest way to fix that is by removing it, then recreating it. To recreate it you find a shortcut to Outlook Express (probably have one in Start - All Programs or in the Quick Launch bar), right click the shortcut and select Pin to Start menu. This creates the shortcut at the top of the Start Menu instead of in the list of recent programs, and should have the correct icon as long as the shortcut did.

When I right click, I get the following: read e-mail,
internet properties, remove from list. Remember, this is
the icon in the start menu list on the top left-hand
side. I apologize if I did not make that clear in the
previous post. Thank you for your continued assistance.

Right click on the icon and select properties. On the
popup click the Change Icon... button. If that doesn't
give you a list of Outlook Express icons to choose from,
use the Browse... button to navigate to C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe. After selecting that
program you will see the correct icons to choose from.
