I use Outlook Express. When I am on a website and I click on an email address, such as, techsupport@company.com MS Outlook starts up a new email, how do I change this so that Outlook Express starts the new email instead?

Regards,

Rod

Why do you use Outlook Express when Outlook is so much better?

With that said, in Outlook Express, click "tools", click "options", in the general tab click "This application is the default mail handler".

I use my Firefox + Orange ISP Browser for my incoming and outgoing mail...

...but...

If I want to insert Images within my Typed Text, I have to use Outlook Express. it has the "INSERT IMAGE" option under the Subject Line...

..!

This allows an image, .JPG, .BMP, .GIF, etc, to be inserted within the text, as the text progresses...

My Orange ISP Mail Browser doesn't... Cry

....!

F.... Cool

A- Because I like OE and like some many other things whether or not Outlook is better then OE is a matter of opinion and what you want to use to for. I only use it for email.

B- Thanks for the response!

I made it the default and hopefully that will take care of it.

I actually thought that it was already the default, but when I went to the general tab it was not set to default.
