SP3 update not showing | Ok to delete wrong email client?

Hello again! New 2 little problems?:

(1) I had installed successfully Windows XP SP3. When it offered an
update, the first one, and I ran it by placing the Office XP
Professional...CD which it asked for, BUT, it doesn't show it under the
Windows Updates in add/remove. Did I do something wrong? Windows isn't
showing anymore on my Taskbar the offer to update....

(2) When I finished the above update, my computer instantly froze. I
rebooted and found on my Taskbar the "Outlook" icon instead of my "Outlook
Express". I was able to get OE back, but Is it okay to delete the
"Outlook" icon from the Taskbar?

Thanks so much for your valuable suggestions! ) Adela

P.S. Thank goodness that this newsgroup is still on....Don't know when it
will disappear as all the others did. I had a problem downloading the
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/
but I'll try again. :^) and/or try also the other suggested sites.

1. Office updates should be listed under the Office component that was
updated or under the Office XP Pro heading. Key word being *should*.
If you don't remember which update(s) installed, check either the
ReportingEvents.log, located at
Windows\Software Distribution\ReportingEvents.log or the
WindowsUpdate.log, located in Windows.

2. *Right* click the Outlook shortcut on the Taskbar, choose Properties.
Does Target: specify the path to Outlook or Outlook Express?

In either case it should be safe to delete the extraneous shortcut since
you stated that Outlook is not installed.
