    I use Windows XP Pro and have Outlook Express configured as my sole email program. Just recently, I noticed that when I click an email link to send an email, the email composer for Microsoft Outlook opens....I don't want that. I want it to open the email composer for Outlook Express. Where in my settings would I go to fix this? Thank you.

    You don't say which browser you use but in the browser settings there will be a place where you specify your default email program (as well as news, rss etc). Fix it there and it should behave!

    Well, I was running IE6....all was fantastic, fast speed etc. Then I upgraded (I was forced to) to the new 7. SO....where do I click and what do I click on? Seems like all this new stuff gets it all screwed up after everything runs perfect

    thank you

    I've got IE8 installed (but only my kids actually use it). I started it up, went to Tools, then Options and got this window

    Where I use Thunderbird you select Outlook Express.
