I have recently started using Outlook 2007 but my husband still uses Outlook
Express (MUCH easier for him). Everytime he tries to check his email (under
his user account) Outlook 2007 tries to open because the default email
program has changed. How can I permantly change his default email program to
Outlook Express?

Assuming you are logging on as two separate Windows Users, try this:

Windows supports a global default, not a user default.
