First game is who can spot whats wrong with the attached image then second is how do you fix it?

 

 

IGNORE - the spacing out thats just to hide the students data

The icon in the taskbar is for Powerpoint?

 

Hammer?

[SYNACK]

Could be the icon cache or the MSI database, perhaps a repair install of office and a deletion of the icon cache.

[glennda]

yeah its just a bit random - is only doing it for one user who thinks its actually quite amusing!

[SYNACK]

If it was a word icon, from office 2000/XP/2003 then I could understand it as there was an option to use word as the default mail editor back then which did result in an icon similar. Maybe it got a hold of some narchotics and is remembering the good old days (if a little skewed by the passage of time)

 

It doesn't look like it would cause any real trouble though - depending on the user .

Yeah i could understand that - i just thought it was quite amusing! they have said its fine and is actually quite funny!

 

it shouldn't be an issue with the installation as they are all from the image (and where only deployed a week ago!)

[SYNACK]

All it would take is a bit (an actual 1 or 0) or two of faulty memory to corrupt the icon index while the profile was being created to cause a switch in icon, ammusing that it picked powerpoint though

 

I guess it goes to the content of most emails these days
