    Control panel icon
    Hi,

    I used Mircosoft Outlook 2003 for mailing in my organization.
    But recently MS Outlook is not working properly.
    Sometimes it shows connected and sometimes trying to connected.
    While on other computer in office my MS outlook mail work properly.

    But on my laptop it is not working properly.

    And I found that my Mail icon in Control panel is not there.
    So that I can't configure other account of mine on same machine.

    How should I bring that control panel icon of mail in laptop.
    I am using window xp sp3.

    Please help.

    Thank you very much for reply,

    I tried what you wrote but of no use.
    That mlcfg32.cpl file is already then also I have created the new as shown in the link but the icon doesn't come in control panel.

    But when I double clicked mlcfg32.cpl file it opens mail config window.

    Any other method or can we create shortcut like desktop shortcut or quick launch folder shortcut.

    If any please write.

    Wel if you would like to make a shortcut on desktop, right click on desktop and go to New and then choose, New Shortcut

    -now browse to the file and click on it

    You will now have a shortcut on your desktop for mlcfg32.cpl and you can rename it to whatever you like once the shortcut is made

    And you can also at that point, drag the shortcut you just made to your start menu programs or where ever you like

    Hope this helps out

    But I am asking about the method so that we can create the shortcut in Control Panel also.
