Outlook 2000 all sp's etc.. running on fully patched XP pro, Exchange Server
5.5 Icons on attachments are incorrect, I.E. Lets say Excel and the icon may
be notepad. Any solutions?

TIA

does this happen with all your clients or just this specific one? Try using
TweakUI powertoy for XP
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp) and choose
to rebuild icons (by Reapir at the bottom of the list).
Also keep in mind that when you use RTF-format that the icon displayed it
the icon from the sender. So if I send you a Word 2003 document and you have
Word 97 you'll see the Word 2003 icon for the attached file.

Hope this helped!
 
Thanks, I forget to mention some of the files do not open (association in
Outlook is gone) Will tweak fix this in Outlook also?

You're welcome :-)

No, this tweak only rebuilds icons. File association is managed in Explorer
under Tools-> Folder Options-> tab File Types. When you save the file and
then open it from that location does the file then open correctly?
 
Right click and drag the mail to the calendar folder. Choose Copy. You can
then set up a calendar entry with all of the information in the body of the
appointment that was in the letter.
