Every attachment sent to Outlook Express tries to open with Windows Media
Player, whether it's .eml or any other. Problem started when I received an
mp3 attachment, was prompted " how would you like to open this attacment?".
Chose Windows Media Player option, now EVERY attachment is sent there, and
of course a "Windows Media Player cannot open this type of file" message. My
question is, how do I restore default settings in Outlook Express ?, or just
plain undo what I did ? Thanks, Jim
 
Have you tried asking in an Outlook Express newsgroup? Outlook and Outlook
Express are different programs.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!
