As Jim suggested, check with your IT/SysAdmin concerning this.

PA Bear: Thanks for the tip - I'm not supposed to bring "outside"
software
into our network. Also, it doesn't really solve my problem. I want to be
able to designate Outlook as my default e-mail. But, if I do that, I then
have no way to open outlook Express 6, because I can't find where the
program resides. It's usually in ProgramOutlook Express/msmin.exe, but
it's not there!!! And remember, I've been using OE6 since we put inthis
network in feb. 2003!! the program is somewhere!! If anyone has an idea
where the executable file is, please let me know so I can create a
shortcut
to it. Thanks for everyone's help. nathan

Understood, but I am currently using OE6 in this environment, it's just
that I have to name it my default e-mail client to open it through
Explorer or the Start menu. the program is installed somewhere - the
question is where??? Please let me know if you have any ideas on where
the program file may be and what the name is. thank you again. nathan

No, it sounds like your IT people have used a custom setup file when
the
machine was initially setup and intentionally removed Outlook Express.
Many do this since they don't want their workers to be browsing
newsgroups during working hours. I'd ask them, since they'd be the
best
source of information about it. Good luck.

It's XP SP2. It's a network, mirrored situation but I think programs
like OE6 should be on our own, the client, hard drive. I do a little
admin on the
network and if someone needs Flash or something like that, I'm always
logging
in as the admin and loading the program to the local (C drive. I
should havementioned earlier that I did do a search ffor the file. Is
it possible
that OE6 could be running off our server? Any advice would be
appreciated.
Thank you again. nathan

What operating system are you using (Windows version)? Have you
tried
a file search for it? Click Start/Search and enter "msimn.exe" in
the
box w/o
the quotes and it should return the file path to the executable.
MSIMN
was
originally an abbreviation for MicroSoft Internet Mail and News.

Jim, et. al.: Unfortunately, msimn.exe is not located in that
location.
Could it be anywhere else or have a different name? thank you.

Jim: Thankyou so much. I was looking for a .exe file with "oe" in
it or
"express", or something in that vein. I appreciate it. n

Creat a shortcut to the executable file for Outlook Express
(msimn.exe)
which is usually located in "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express"
folder
and
save it on your Desktop. To open Outlook Express, just click on
the
shortcut.

I would like Outlook to be my default e-mail client in our
Exchange
environment. But, I still want to use Outlook Express to
download
my
personal e-mail from my sbcglobal.net mail server (I know I can
not
send
mail
out through the server). I can not figure out a way to open OE6
unless I
make OE6 my default e-mail client in Windows XP.

My idea is to make Outlook my default e-mail client and put an
OE6
shortcut
in my taskbar or on the desktop. BUT, I canââ,¬â"¢t find the
OE6
program
application file to do this. Will someone please let me know if
this
is
possible? Thank you very much. I thought this would be simple!
