Specifying E-mail Programme

Can any one advise how to set Outlook Express as the default e-mail
application? Under Tools, Internet Options, Programs there are no options on
the pop down menu yet Outlook Express is configured and operating as a
standalone application.

Thanks

Click to expand...

What options ARE under the Programs Tab? I've never seen IE6 do that.
Maybe an IE6 repair install would put the entries there.

Hi,
Go to Start> Run and type in or copy and paste this command
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
Then [Enter] or OK

Then check OE> Tools> Options> General to see that OE is the default e-mail
program and check the same setting in IE.

Hope this helps,
Don
