Email client

**dragon2309** · 08-23-2005, 05:01 PM

I've got myself into a little pickle here. At the top of the start menu, there is the bit where you can pin items to the start menu, by default the internet browser and email client get put there.

Now heres my problem, i uninstalled Thunderbird because i found a few probs with it and wanted toy use outlook express again, so uninstall went fine, then went to the start menu and the email client part is blank. If i click on it then it takes me to the internet properties dialog box.

I have tried several times to tell it thwat i want my default client to me OE but it wont change on the start menu. Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks, dragon2309

In the add/remove programs window there should be a icon on the left to Set Program Access and Defaults
