Default Email Program

[wulfer]

Outlook Express was my only (and thus default) email program. I just
installed the MS Office suite, including Outlook, and it somehow became the
default mail program, which I don't want. I unticked the option to make it
the default, then went into Express to make it the default program again but
the option to do this is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to un-grey it
and choose it, or some other way to make it the default? I tried to
uninstall Outlook but it seems you can't do this in isolation.

Thanks

You can set the default email client in Control Panel || Internet Options ||
Programme Tab.

That worked perfectly. I appreciate your help.

Noel:

Your reply was great. It helped me, but my problem is the total opposite!
I had Outlook Express as the default, then I installed Office, and somehow OE
stayed as the default email application. Now, when I try to send pictures to
an email (right clicking in Explorer on the pictures), it comes up in an OE
window, even though your suggestion here was to select Outlook as the default.

In my "Set Program Access and Defaults" on the start menu, it doesn't even
have Outlook as an option on the list, and remains OE.

Do you know anything about this? Help!
