My friend has installed a compression program which allows him to select
several photos, right-click, select the function to make it a compressed
ZIP file and turn it into an email attachment.

However, the program would invoke Outlook instead of Outlook Express. How
do we make OE6 be the default mail client without uninstalling Microsoft
Office?
