Outlook Express Default Program?

[Guest]

Hi,

I can't seem get Outlook Express to be the default email program.

Whenever I try and send a spreadsheet from inside Excel (Click Send To) it
trys to open Outlook. I don't use Outlook at all. When I goto programs in
Internet Explorer my email is set to Outlook and I cannot even choose
Outlook Express (It's not there). Yes I've tried to uninstall and
re-install to no avail.....

Any ideas?

Better asked in an OE group....but do you have OE installed and working? As
in, can you launch it manually and send mail?

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:

In Outlook Express, choose Tools, Options and under general you can select
the default mail handler.
