    or go to the Control Panel, Open "Add or Remove Programs" and click on "Set Program Access and Defaults" on the left hand side.

    Click on the button for E-mail program and choose Outlook Express from the dropdown.

    Or, you can open Outlook Express, choose Tools, then Options, then General. At the bottom of this window, click "Make Default" where it says "This application is the default Mail handler." If this button is grayed out, it means OE is already your default mail program.

    or Click Start, then click Run. Copy this line in the "Run" window: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg (use copy/paste to do this so it is exactly the same with the quotation marks and slashes). Click yes make this my default email application.

    This could be SO confusing for some people ... three-sided coin required?
    I have always maintained that it is a mistake to provide people with too many options.

    Well done ssratus !
