SYMPTOMSIf you have a button on the Office Shortcut Bar toolbar that points to a World Wide Web (WWW) site, the button may not work, and the WWW page to which the button points will not come up in your Internet Browser.
CAUSEYou may experience the problem if all of the following are true:
WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, you can manually create an Office Shortcut Bar toolbar button instead of using the Office Shortcut Bar customize dialog box to create the button. You can manually create an Office Shortcut Bar toolbar button by moving or copying the URL shortcut that's on your desktop to the relevant Office Shortcut Bar toolbar folder. If you copy the URL shortcut to an Office Shortcut Bar toolbar folder, you can then delete the original shortcut and the Office Shortcut Bar button will still work. NOTE: Toolbars on the Office Shortcut Bar are just folders within the C:\Msoffice\Office\Shortcut Bar folder. For example, if you want to add a URL shortcut to an Office Shortcut Bar toolbar called "test," move or copy the URL shortcut to the C:\Msoffice\Office\Shortcut Bar\test folder.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
