Just purchased a new computer for digital audio...from a boutique mfg.; & it
came loaded w/ XP Pro, SP2, 32-Bit.

I know this is a dumb question...I've long since forgotten...but Outlook
Express is nowhere to be found on this rig; & I was wondering...it's
actually part of the OS, or no? Is it available as a download from MS? Is
it free? Do I go get a boxed copy from CompUSA?

Thanks,

OE6 is part of IE6 and both are part of all XP installation CDs.

Go to the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove
Windows Components. Make sure Outlook Express checked.

Reboot and then check: Start | All Programs. Is OE listed?

If not, 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.

You're very welcome. IMHO, asking if OE is free is not a dumb question. Now
if you offered to pay good money for it, well.........................
