Default email question.
How do I fix this? Say I'm looking at a Craigslist ad and click on the highlighted text to send an email. The window that pops up is Outlook, a version I don't use everyday. My default email should be Outlook Express, a different program, which I use ever day. I haven't set up the ordinary Outlook and I'm not sure why I would. What's the fix to have it go to OE instead?
TIA. |

In Outlook Express, from the drop down menu, click Tools > Options
On that first tab you should see the Default Messageing Programs section at the bottom. Most likely the first line says "This Application is NOT the default mail handler". If you click the button next to it labeled "Make Default", that should do it for you. Be sure to click OK or Apply. Then test it out. Steve

when and IF you get to windows 7, youll want to use thunderbird for mail as windows outlook, or express isnt available. The new one for win 7 is windows live, part of a chat /social thing I am 100% POSITIVE you wouldnt use!
