trouble default email
 

I am having problems keeping Outlook Express set as my default email under
“Set Program Access & Default (SPAD)�. Every time I open a saved email
(example from “My Documents�), Windows Live Mail (WLM) opens it. I
continually go into “SPAD� and recheck Outlook Express in ‘Custom’ and
unchecked “Enable Access to this program� for WLM. However, WLM still opens
saved emails.
Under “SPAD� the Microsoft area shows: Email: Enable access to Outlook
Express & WLM.
Non-Microsoft shows: Email: WLM / Enable: WLM / Remove access: Outlook
Express
Custom shows: Use default email / Use my current email program / enable
access to Outlook Exp. Again I continually click on make Outlook Exp my
default and it makes the changes but WLM continues.

In Outlook Express / Options / General Tab / Default Messaging Programs,
“this application is the default mail handler / the button “Make Default� is
greyed out and can not be clicked.
How do I keep Outlook Express as my default email?

Right click on a saved eml file and Open With | Choose Program. Select
Outlook Express and then check the box: Always use this program to open this
kind of file.

Some links here may be of help as well.

Make OE the default e-mail client:

1. See http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx and then
http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

2. In SPAD, double-click on the downward-pointing arrows to the right of the
configuration that's already checked/selected | For Email, select OE (not
"Use my current...) | OK your way out.

If still no joy, see:

PS: And uninstall Windows Live Mail

Opening a saved EML file does Not use the default mail program. The
default mail program only applies when another program (e.g. your web
browser) wants to send a new message.

You need to fix the Windows File Association for EML files.

If the abbreviated command in the above article doesn't work,
then try: Start, Run and enter the following (with the quotation marks):
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg
