I recently installed Outlook and realized that I didn't
need all that so uninstalled and now even though I can
click the Outlook Express icon on my desk top to open it
when I try it from IE it does nothing. Outlook Express
will not stay my default mail reader no matter what and in
the drop down menu for Mail there is no program listed.
Thanks in advance for any help solving this issue.
 
Ken, did you ever get any help on this? This is exactly my
problem that I posted about today. IF you know the answer,
email me at (e-mail address removed)

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:
