In VISTA I have always accessed my email by clicking the icon labeled "Email
- Microsoft Outlook" but suddenly my PC has responded with a box "Cannot
start Microsoft Outlook."
But I seem to get to the identical place by clicking the icon "Windows Mail"
- i.e., I have the same Inbox, Folders & Address Book.
Is there a difference ?
What do I have to do to fix the problem with the icon that no longer works ?

Click to expand...

The shortcut for Windows Mail is probably set to open the default mail
program and Outlook steals that permission every time it is updated.
