Outlook Express

Former Member

I run Windows XP and I was wondering, the Outlook Express. I cant find it. I cant run it or anything coz I cant find it. I downloaded Internet Explorer 6 and thats supposed to come with it. But I cant find it.

Also, I heard about Microsoft Outlook XP. What is it? Is it better and if so, where can I get it?

I run Microsoft Works 6.0 aswell, does it have it?

Outlook XP comes with Office XP. Microsoft Outlook Express will be somewhere on your PC. It comes with Windows XP. Goto control panel. Add/Remove Programs. Then choose "add/remove windows components" find outlook express in the list and make sure its ticked.

I set Hoptmail to default e-mail on my start menu, how do I chabge it to Outlook Express again?

Former Member

bring up internet properties goto programs and change it from hotmail to outlook express

Former Member

I did, but there is still no change in the start menu. When I set up a new user account, I changed default from OE to Hotmail because a little box came up. Now I cant find the option. OE is also set in Hotmail. Is that why?

Former Member

I read that twice and dont understand what you mean.

Former Member

OK, I started a new user account on the PC.

I saw default E-mail as Outlook

A box came up asking if I want to change, I choose yes and changed it to Hotmail

I cant change it back because the box doesnt come up anymore.

I have Outlook connected as Hotmail too. Is that why It hasn't changed, because it's the same option?

PS. Thanks for your help. Im sorry if I have been a nusiance.

Ok right listen
right click on the internet explorer Icon and choose Internet Properties

At the tabs at the top pic "Programs"

Then on that screen one will say Email client or something similar change that from hotmail to Outlook Express in the drop down block apply it and all should be fine.
