MSN Explorer and Outlook Express

[joe]

I recently installed XP SP2 and now MSN Explorer has
become my default E-mail reader and I want to continue
using MS Outlook Express. I cannot find any options to
disable MSN Explorer and regain use of Outlook Express.

I right clicked on the Outlook Express desktop icon and
selected "Properties". Under the "Shortcut" tab I see the
following:

Target type: E-mail
Target location: Desktop
Target: E-mail

but "E-mail" in the Target box is grayed out, so I am
unable to change this.

QUESTION:

How can I disable MSN Explorer and regain use of Outlook
Express as my E-mail reader.

Thank you!

Ya gotta just love it. MSN is the bane of Microsoft and yet they keep
cramming it down computer users throats!

Uninstall the damx thing and rid your computer of any and all things MSN
related!

Open OE. Go to Tools/Options/General Tab. Look at the bottom of the window
and click on the obvious.

Then open IE (NOT MSN) and go to Tools/Internet Properties/Programs and make
sure the OE is listed there.

P.S. As far as I know, MSN Explorer doesn't have an email/news program.
