XP and earlier came with OE embedded in it. Vista came with WinMail
embedded in it. Win7 does not have any e-mail program embedded in it. That
is my reason for saying "Win7 of course" doesn't really fly.

What are you locked into? Windows Live Mail? There is always Thunderbird,
Eudora, Opera, Pegasus, etc.

You are not locked into anything. You /are/ locked out of using Outlook
Express, and Windows Mail. Why? Well for starters, all production for both
of those e-mail clients ended in June, 2006.

Hey. I liked OE myself, but don't shoot the messenger. If it were up to
me, I would have fixed the fragile dbx file system and kept OE going.

Win 7 does really fly. WLMail may be able to run on XP and Vista BUT...
if you have Win 7 you are LOCKED IN. No choice. If OE6 would run on
Win 7 there would be no need for this post.

If this is not the correct group for a Live Mail question please
direct me.

Simple question. I use Live Mail only for newsgroups (Win 7 of
course). Is there a way to set it up to boot to Newgroups as the
default screen as opposed to Mail (I always have to then click on
Newsgroups)?

Thanks in advance... Bob
