Somehow, (perhaps whilst sleepwalking) I have erased or deleted Outlook
Express. I've searched for a good download link, but have only gotten more
confused. I'm running IE7 on WinXP home. ALthough I have migrated to
regular Outlook 2007, I must have one message still stuck (perhaps a welcome
message) on OE that I'd like to finsn get rid of then disable access to OE.
(Pops up on my switch user change as a hyperlink but won't click or lead me
there.)

Any ideas ladies and gentlemen?

OE is probably still there. The shortcut probably got deleted. The program
is located under Program Files\Outlook Express and is called msimn.exe. If
you click on that, it will start OE.
