HiI recently installed a Microsoft WebCam together with Windows Live Essentials.I continue to use Outlook Express to compose, send and receive emails but save any that I need to keep in another location on my PC.When I open these saved emails they now open in Windows Live Mail instead Outlook Express.How can I make these emails open in OE as before?Eric1 person needs an answerI do too

Right click on one of these and Open With | Choose Program. Select Outlook Express and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. If still no joy, OE is not set as your default e-mail client.Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults | Custom + Down Arrow | Select the radio button for Outlook Express. Make OE the default e-mail client: http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx For links in e-mail: http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx And: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Optionshttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/oe_client.htm If you have MS Outlook installed, also see #13: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#13 "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default:http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail]

HiThe first option seems to have done the trick. I had already checked my Internet Options/Programs and OE was shown as the default.It must have been the run command provided inn the link that did the trick.Eric

Glad you got it working. Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail]
