Outlook vs. Outlook Express

[DonTech]

Use win2K pro. Also use Outlook 2000 as my E-Mail client. When I try and send an outgoing E-mail from Internet explorer 6.0 It automatically opens Outlook Express, I get no save of message in my sent items. Does anyone know how to prevent Outlook Express from taking over. I have all default pointers in IE set to Outlook not Express.

I would try downloading the latest WIN2K service pack. This will include a control panel called SET PROGRAM ACCESS AND DEFAULTS. Among other settings, you can choose which is your default email package from there. That might kick in the right one. Hope this helps.

Check under INTERNET OPTIONS > PROGRAMS... see if Outlook is your email and not outlook dispress

hi there! have you checked the settings of outlook itself? if you use it rather than outlook express, then you should associate eml files with it. there should be a check box somewhere in its preferences dialogue that allows you to do this.
