Can I have Outlook Express start auto. when I start IE 5.5 ?

[JohnBates]

Hello browser experts !

First, everything is working fine; just have a question.

I have IE 5.5 and Outlook Express 5.5

Just want to know if there is a setting that would force
Outlook Express to start-up when I start Internet Explorer 5.5

Thanks for your ideas. John

You could write a simple batch file that launches both IE and OE. Open notepad and type:
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\outlook.exe

then save as "IE-OE.bat" on your desktop.
Double clicking on this file will launch both apps.

You'll have to change the paths according to your actual setup, though.
