I have been using Outlook Express.
Today, I installed gmail installer.
Then, when I clicked on email address (hyperlinked) to send an email, it
opened gmail web account.
How can I change to open Outlook Express. Thanks. Roman

Gmail already provides the help pages to tell you how to enable POP3
access.

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm

Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg

and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both
IE and OE.

If that isn't enough, see this article:
"Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

You might also want to try this:

To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the
following with quotation marks and press OK
"C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient
