If you have XP/SP2 you have OE6.

Have you looked in Start | Programs?

Have you gone to the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove
Windows Components. Is Outlook Express checked?

Still nothing on the Desktop? Copy this:

c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.

Now go to the Control Panel | Set Program Access and Defaults and set OE as
default and then you should have the shortcut.
