Question
I don't see where I can change the icon.  But the thing is they are the correct icons, the colours just don't appear correctly.  I can take an icon from the taskbar that is right and drag it to the office toolbar and it will appear differently.

I was able to add the file you were talking about from the Office CD.  The problem is that the icons appear different.  How do I get them to use the real colours for the icon.  For example, the poweroint icon is the same as Outlook instead of redish orange.  When I add the Firefox (my default browser) icon it looks really strange.

I recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office XP.  I use to have a shortcut bar for my office applications in the top right corner of my screen.  Since switching I no longer have this.  How do I get it back as I really liked it, and prefer it to having the items as part of the taskbar.  I am running windows ME if that matters.

Thanks,
Kevin
Answer -
Go to Start>Programs>Office XP>Office Tools. You should see an icon for the Office Shortcut Bar. Right click and create an icon on the desktop for it. If you want to to load at startup, you can put that icon in your Startup group.

In the Customize option, you can set the program that runs and the icon used.

Answer
Its been a while since I use MOM (Microsoft Office Manager). So I don't recall the exact copmands. I do recall that there were issues where the wrong icons were displayed or the right icons, but for the wrong programs. I also recall that the icons are smaller so they do appear distorted, but not sure why they might be different colors.
