Hi Folks,

I have 'outlook' as my default email program and i use 'outlook express' for
newsgroups and more 'hidden' type of emails.
everytime i send an internet link or internet page from 'explorer' it
defaults to 'outlook express' as the program for sending this type of
action.
I am currently using outlook 2003.

Any assistance would be appreciated in making 'outlook' as the preferred
email program for this type of action.

thanks
