I am having problems keeping Outlook Express set as my default email under
“Set Program Access & Default (SPAD)”. Every time I open a saved email
(example from “My Documents”), Windows Live Mail (WLM) opens it. I
continually go into “SPAD” and recheck Outlook Express in ‘Custom’ and
unchecked “Enable Access to this program” for WLM. However, WLM still opens
saved emails.
Under “SPAD” the Microsoft area shows: Email: Enable access to Outlook
Express & WLM.
Non-Microsoft shows: Email: WLM / Enable: WLM / Remove access: Outlook
Express
Custom shows: Use default email / Use my current email program / enable
access to Outlook Exp. Again I continually click on make Outlook Exp my
default and it makes the changes but WLM continues.

In Outlook Express / Options / General Tab / Default Messaging Programs,
“this application is the default mail handler / the button “Make Default” is
greyed out and can not be clicked.
How do I keep Outlook Express as my default email?
