If you have XP/SP2 you have OE6.

Have you looked in Start | Programs?

Have you gone to the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove
Windows Components. Is Outlook Express checked?

Still nothing on the Desktop? Copy this:

c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.

Now go to the Control Panel | Set Program Access and Defaults and set OE as
default and then you should have the shortcut.

there is no c:\program files\outlook express group in both c and d
drive. i have found ie6setupOe.exe from some download website whose
name i have forgot, but when i try to run it, it says that

"setup has detected a new version of IE already installed on
this system. setup cant continue."

it looks that IE7 dont come with OE and it wasnt installed by IE6 and
now i cant find the download link for OE on microsoft website.

Please include previous replies in your posts. It make things easier to
follow.

IE6 which contains OE6 is a part of XP. Always was an will be. Unless you
are running Vista and not XP, it is on your installation disk and somehow
got deleted from your machine. (Didn't know that was possible).

You checked in the Control Panel as suggested? And all the other
suggestions?

Although written for WinXP, it works for all Windows operating systems 98 or
newer.

Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add or Remove Windows Components in
the left hand column. Make sure Outlook Express is checked.
