In IE you can go directly to OE by clicking the Mail icon on the Command Bar
and this means you don't have to shut down IE and the open up OE. However, I
can't figure out a way to do the reverse. If I'm in OE I have to close it
down and then open up IE to get to go on the web! Is there a way to put an
IE con, or similar, on the OE Command Bar?

That is what the Quick Launch bar does.
Right click on the Taskbar, Toolbars, check Quick Launch.
Expand Quick Launch to have empty space.
Drag the IE shortcut to Quick Launch. A copy will be placed on Quick
Launch.

Or you can minimize OE, then open IE.

Or add an IE shortcut to Start.

Thanks Ron. It's just that I find it far more accessible to have an icon on
the command bar rather than having to navigate down to Quick Launch at the
very bottom of the screen. If it can be done on the IE command bar I don't
see why it can't be done on the OE one.

OE has never had that option and it never will. The Outlook Express
development team was disbanded about two years ago so outside of security
updates, WYSIWYG.
