Conflict with Outlook
 
On my Windows XP Professional laptop, I use Outlook Express 6 for my email,
but I also have Outlook 2000 installed. I want to export some of my folders
from OE6 to Outlook, but it tells me that I have to set Outlook as the
default email program. I try to do this in the Internet Options Control
Panel, but when I go back into this Control Panel, it is still set to OE as
the default email program. When I check the setting in Outlook, the check box
is checked to make it (Outlook) the default email program.

How can I make it to "stick" in the Control Panel that Outlook is the
default email program so that OE will export messages to it?

Have you tried /importing/ the OE folders (DBX files) into OL (instead of exporting them from OE)?

I have tried, but I don't get a DBX file type option. How do I get DBX as a
file type?

I suggest posting this query to one of the Outlook newsgroups, Dan.
