Default Default mail Client

I have just put together a Dell system. I want to use Outlook Express. I
have installed Microsoft Office, but do not want to use Outlook as a mial
client. Every time I start the computer up, it tells me that there is no
default mail client and to run Outlook and to make it the default client. I
wish outlook to be the default, but when I go into the tools menu to tell
Outlook Express to be the defaul it is greyed out and I am not able to set
it as default. Can anybody help as I do not wish to keep being asked this
question.
Thank you all.

START | All Programs | Set Programs Access and Defaults.
Expand Custom and select Outlook Express as the default email client.

Also, you might look in Control Panel | Internet Options then click on the
Programs tab and select Outlook Express as the default.

Then there is also
START | Run
type in "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
(include the quotes) and press ENTER
