This article was previously published under Q134267 SYMPTOMS
When you perform a Run From Network Server or Run From CD installation of
Microsoft Office, buttons on the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar do not
display the correct program icon. In Microsoft Office 95, the Make an
Appointment, Add a Task, and Add a Contact buttons on the Office toolbar
of the Office 95 Shortcut Bar display the generic Windows icon instead of
the appropriate Schedule+ icon. In Microsoft Office 97 these buttons are
named New Appointment, New Task, and New Contact and are located on the
Office toolbar of the Office 97 Shortcut Bar.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs under Windows NT, version 3.51 when the icon for an
item on the Shortcut Bar is located on a network drive or on a CD-ROM
drive. For example, when you perform a Run From Network Server
installation of Microsoft Office, the icons for the Add a Task, Add a
Contact, and Make an Appointment buttons are located in the Schdpl32.exe
file on the network server, and each of these buttons displays the
generic Windows icon.
Note that this behavior does not affect the functionality of the buttons
on the Office Shortcut Bar or of the button name displayed for the button
(ToolTip). Only the button icon is affected by this problem.
This behavior also affects the following icons that are not displayed on
the Office toolbar by default:
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Schedule+
Microsoft Word
Note that the icons displayed in the Msoffice\Shortcut Bar\Office folder
(where Msoffice is the folder to which you installed Microsoft Office)
also display the generic Windows icon.
This problem does not occur under Windows 95 or in Microsoft Windows NT,
version 4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
