I don't know when or how this happened but I noticed that the desktop
icon for Outlook 2000 is changed. The icon has changed to something
that looks like a system icon. I tried TweakUI to repair icons. I
tried Outlooks restore shortcuts. I tried reinstalling Office 2000.
Nothing seems to work. I figured this has to be some registry trickery
but I don't know where to begin to resolve this. Is there a fix for
this problem?

It has been a long time since I used OL 2000. Is the icon on the desktop a
ral shortcut or is it a stub that invokes the Mail applet in Control Panel?

Its not a shortcut. Its one that will start the program and if I right
click the icon the properties menu is displayed to ad accounts.
In creating a second account called "test" and then reinstalling
Office 2000 the correct desktop icon is associated to Outlook.
However, this is not the case when I logon to my original user account
"user". The wrong icon get associated to Outlook on the desktop but
within the StartMenu the correct icon is associated to Outlook. Its
just a desktop thing.
