I have upgraded a Windows 2000 Professional laptop from
Office 2000 to Office 2003. After the upgrade the desktop
icon for Outlook still looks like the one from Office
2000 and not from 2003. I have removed the desktop icon
and then added it back with the registry key mentioned on
this site and others (both with the data field of 3 and
blank.) The icon still retains the Office 2000 look. Is
there anyway to get the Outlook desktop icon to have the
Outlook 2003 look?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Jay,
are you sure, that you have removed all from Office2000?
The better way to update is a clean install, so you will never get this
problems

I am also having this problem and have tried the same solutions that you have
tried. I just figured I would ask if you figured out a good solution to this
problem.

Thanks

Has anyone ever found out a fix for this? I've looked everywhere I know and
see 2-3 of these posts (the Outlook 2003 desktop icon looks like the Outlook
2000 version), and the posts are never answered.

I am working on creating an MST that upgrades OL2000 to OL2003. My original
version (OL2003 flat) worked fine and the icon was the right one. However,
since I slipstreamed SP1 and 2 post-SP1 patches (KB885828 and KB870774) into
my administrative install point, I've been seeing only the old OL2000 icon
after the OL2003 update is applied. I have no idea if the slipstream caused
this change, but I'm at a loss.

Any ideas?

Dan

I need to clarify that the rest of Office is staying at Office 2000, so we ar
enot doing a complet uninstall of Office. Instead, we are having the MST set
to remove Outlook 2000. It appears that OL2000 is being removed properly,
but I can't tell for sure.
