Lost Windows Mail to Outlook Express

[Gary VanderMolen]

Did you not also say that when you go to Help, About...
it clearly identifies the program as Windows Mail? Perhaps some of
the OE binary files got intermingled with the Windows Mail binary files.
What I would do: On the machine with the problem, rename
"C:\Program Files\Windows Mail" to something else.
Then copy and paste the Windows Mail directory from the
correctly working laptop.

He indicated other things changed as well, but he won't be specific, so
there's no way of knowing exactly what's happened.

The wording on title bars is easily changed. I wouldn't pay much attention
to what the title bar says.

Although that article addresses OE, I believe the same principle applies to
WM.
