Default programme

[B.W.]

A friend of me had someone send him an email in Incredimail. Now it has
taken over as his default email programme. Where is the setting to make OE
his default mail reading programme. To do this however will he also have
to be in OE first and not Incredimail?

TIA

B.W.

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:

With Internet Explorer open, go to Tools > Options > Programs. Select
Outlook Express as the email program. Go to Incremail and make sure it is
not selected as the default mail program.
