    Some misunderstanding here ....

    Start Button > Programs > Outlook Express. not C:\Program Files\Outlook Express which will show you 12 files.

    As I recall an icon for OE is not placed on the Desktop by default, so, in Program Files\Outlook Express fight click on msimn.exe > Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). On the Desktop rename the shortcut to Outlook Express.

    If you do find it under Start > Programs - which you should right click as above and Send to Desktop.
