shortcut to Outlook accidentally removed

[JanAdam]

Setting up on a new computer I have moved, instead of copying, a shortcut to
Outlook from Start > All programs > MS Office to Quick Launch bar. How to
restore the shortcut in Start > Office? (Win XP SP2, Office 2003 pro)

thanks,

Right click on Outlook in the Quick Launch, and choose Copy. Click Start -
All Programs - Office... right-click on the Office folder and choose Paste.

I have tried to extactly that before posting my question. The problem is that
there is no Paste option there.

Hmmm... it worked here.

A generic solution is to repair Office, which reinstates any lost shortcuts.

Thanks Herb again,

I have solved the problem:
Right click on Start > All programs > Office, then left click on Explore.
This opens a form similar to Win Explorer, where it is possible to paste the
missing shortcut. This is just in case somebody has a similar problem.
