Do you want to add Outlook to your task bar for easy access? If so:

Find Outlook by doing the following:

1. Click start
2. Scroll down until you see "Outlook"

1. Click and hold on "Outlook"
2. Drag to the taskbar (to the right of that little green icon or anywhere you want it, really) and let go. It will get "pinned" to the taskbar.

You can do the same thing with any of the applications listed under the Start Menu. Very handy.

Would you prefer a short cut on your desktop instead?

Follow steps 1-3 above and instead of dragging to the taskbar for step 4, drag it to the desktop.
