I installed the XP SP2 beta on my main XP Pro (Retail) machine. When I
click e-mail in Messenger, Outlook Express opens instead of my Hotmail
account.

On my other XP Pro (Retail) PC, I have not installed the SP2 beta, and
Messenger still opens Hotmail.

Question: How can I configure Messenger to open Hotmail instead of Outlook
Express on my SP2 beta PC?

Thanks

Joe
 
MS disabled it:

Windows Messenger and MSN Add-ins for Windows Messenger
This note applies if you are using Windows Messenger instead of MSN®
Messenger.

Windows Messenger 4.7.3 is included in SP2, but it does not support MSN
add-ins for Windows Messenger. To continue to use these add-ins, you must
install and use MSN Messenger, which you can download for free at the MSN
Messenger Web site.
