Setting default mail program

[Lee]

I installed Outlook Express for the newsgroup capability, but it also
declared itself the default mail client. Now whenever I click on an e-mail
address in a non-mail application, Outlook gets invoked rather than Eudora,
which is what I use to manage e-mail. I have the correct setting (NOT
Default) in Outlook Express Options/General, but it does not seem to be
honored by Windows XP. Is there a way outside of OE I can set the default
e-mail client back to Eudora?

Thanks very much.

Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, select Internet Options, go to the
Programs tab and be sure Eudora is selected as the default e-mail
program...note, you may have to select it from a dropdown list. If it is
selected, deselect it, click apply and ok then reselect it and click apply
and ok.

If that doesn't resolve it or it's not in the list, reinstall Eudora.

Perfect! Thank you, Michael.

\From downloading the latest windows update in the
add/remove window a new icon will appear stating 'set
program access and defaults' please go to windows
update , download all update get any new sp's and
hopefully that icon will appear.
