E-mailing pictures & want Outlook express back, NOT Netscape

[Todd]

I had a computer tech at my house 2 days ago to fix an
issue that started occuring with Outlook Express freezing
up when ever I sent/forwarded/reply to any e-mails. It's
fixed via compressing my e-mail folders. (Don't KNOW WHY
THAT FIXED IT??!!) NOW when I am in the folders My
Pictures or Documents, etc... trying to send photos/files
by clicking on the left side, "File and folder tasks" to
e-mail them out as smaller sized files instead of getting
Outlook Express opening to e-mail these pic's/files I get
Netscape!!! I don't want netscape!! I'm not that big of
an idiot and think I've checked that Outlook Express is
STILL my default e-mail. I have NO idea what's triggered
Netscape to be the e-mailing program, NOW! instead of
Outlook Express as it's been for a year+. The idiot
computer tech wants to charge me MORE for something he
created!!! HELP PLEASE.

Go to Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs and set Outlook Express as your Default e-mail client. You can also check this in OE's options, on the General tab. Last, but not least, click Start, Run and enter MSIMN.EXE /REG

Doug, that's what I mean that I'm not an idiot, but have
already checked exactly that in internet options and
Outlook Express is set !!!

What's OE options in the General tab? I see nothing to do
with OE options in the general tab? I furthermore could
not get anything to function under your 3rd option, Run,
then MSIMN.EXE /REG as I copied it exatly as you wrote
it.

More suggestions, please?

At the bottom, check "This Application is the Default Mail Handler."

What's OE options in the General tab? I see nothing to do with OE options

in the general tab?

In Outlook Express, go to Tools, Options, General tab. In the lower right corner you'll see buttons for the Default Mail and News handlers.

And there is no visible result of using the MSIMN.EXE /REG command. It simply restores a large number of Registry entries concerned with making OE the default mail handler.

Download the ZIP file (3rd option - Send Mail). Extract the contents of the ZIP file and double click the 2 Reg files, answering yes to the import prompt. The README.TXT file contains more information. REG files can be viewed in Notepad to see the changes that are made.

That box was/is checked. I checked this originally.

I am still screwed!! Is there a number to call someone?
I have tried everything that's been suggested, I think
correctly.
