The problem I have is trying to make outlook express the default mail
handler. I have Outlook installed on the same PC, but cannot select OE as the
default.

I have tried going into the Tools - Intenet Options - Programs section
within Internet Explorer but OE is not an option on the pull down list.

I have also set OE to be the default from within the outlook express program
itself, but still it does not become the default.

Any help would be appreciated.

You lie about OEM licensing. Period. Every post you post is a mistake.

Many times, if you get an update for MS Outlook, it sets Outlook as the
default e-mail client. So keep a copy of this for the future.

Make OE the default e-mail client:
