Microsoft Office 2007 installation in windows 7 won’t create any Outlook Icon on User desktop. This is expected behavior with default installation. If you want to get this icon, then import the below registry information to your system and you should be able to see it immediately.

You can save above bunch of keys as reg file and import into the target machine. Obvious thing is that you should take backup of your registry before you import.
