There are several default settings that apply to all Windows users. The
default mail client is one setting that applies to all Windows users.

Apparently not. Do you mean: do I want it to be?

Yes, I could get away with that. How would I do that?

But also, I would like to know how to make OE the default mail client for
just Guest, permitting others to set their own default.

That is, without having to do it after I set it up for Guest. In other
words, if I set this up for Guest, I don't want it to change anything for
other users.

Well, that's the ideal. But if that's too hard or not possible, I'll
settle for whatever I can get.

Thanks.

How can I set OE as the mail program for the Guest account, which does

have administrator privileges?

I go into IE Internet Options Programs, select OE for E-Mail, then
click
OK.

But when I re-enter IE Internet Options Programs, E-Mail has reverted
to
Outlook.

I presume that is the reason why I cannot forward NG postings from OE.
I
get the Microsoft Office Outlook error "no profiles have been created".

I have tried configure IE Internet Options Programs when do no other
programs are running, notably OE.

If non-administrator Guest is not permitted to make such a change, how
can
someone do this for Guest from an user account that does have
administrator
privilege?
