Hi, had thought it fixed, real weird. If I open a folder and right click
a
file to sendto, it opens in OE but if I try to send from desktop, it
opens
in Outlook. What now?

Maeve:

Updates for Outlook often change it to the default e-mail client, even
though it appears OE is the default. See if these links help. If they
do,
save them. you'll need it for future Outlook updates.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

See this if it still does not set as default:

I have OE as my default mail client but when I right click and 'send
to'
mail recipient it opens as outlook and I don't have my addresses there,
so
I now open OE and attach what I want to send. I used to be able to do
it
but it has changed since my son reinstalled windows! How do I change it
to
open OE? Thanks
