How to make a desktop shortcut for outlook express, when click right does not work as it does normally make a shortcut. Thank you!

I have vista home premium

Right-click on an empty part of the desktop and click New and then click on shortcut and follow the prompts to create a shortcut you want.

If it does not, locate the executable file of the program itself (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files and probably not that hard to find) and right click on this file and click on create a shortcut (desktop).

If this does not work, go to start / / Desktop and click on the file menu and then click New and then click shortcut and follow the prompts to create a shortcut you want.

I don't know any of these methods will work.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

P.S. If Burr is right about OE, you say you have Vista Home Premium and the above procedures should work with any version of Vista and quite well with just about any program file (even if only good program files will actually open programs rather than do nothing or do something completely different and perhaps unwanted).  No matter if you mixed up the name, or somehow found a way to install OE on Vista - procedures to create shortcuts should work (or at least one of them should).

  • How can I fix error 0x800C0133 # for Outlook Express 6

    I had been away from my Outlook Express 6 on this computer for several months and when I went to download e-mail messages that have been accumulated, he kept downloading the same emails again and again until there were about 70 000 e-mails between my account from Comcast and Hotmail via Outlook Express.  When I tried to remove them, I could not, then at some point all of my emails have disappeared and I can send emails, but I can't receive them and I get the error message 0x800CO133 and I don't know what to do.  How can I fix it?

    Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Any URL in MS Outlook Express I click on does not take me to a web page.

    I've asked this question before and did not get a resolution of the problem.

    Windows XP SP3 updates to all windows.

    I installed an anti-ad software that invalidates any URL in MS Outlook Express or other 3rd party applications (Skype, Yahoo IM, etc.)

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP CD to repair the problem without reformatting or erase other my data.

    Please find a solution. This problem lasts 2 to 3 weeks.

    You needn't msjava.dll.  It is an optional file and has nothing to do with your problem.

    See www.oehelp.com/ielnk.aspx and www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx and www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

    Also, make sure you have uninstalled the software 'anti-ad' and see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 for other programs that may interfere with the functionality of the OE.

  • When I used to hit ctrl, ALT, delete, Task Manager appears. Now, just the screen CPU usage. How can I get that back for the bigger task manager, which, the CPU usage was a tab to the breast? Thank you.

    The Task Manager is now just 'CPU' because I must have hit something wrong.  I was hoping just to click on the tab use the CPU in the Task Manager, now somehow when I hit CTRL, remove alt. it shows only the CPU usage graph.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to remove all the data on my blackberry when the buttons do not work?

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8330.  Yesterday the buttons stopped working.  I could use the phone only via Bluetooth.  Based on the information from this forum, I tried a number of hard resets and updated operating system.  None worked.  Verizon is to exchange the phone, but I don't want to send the phone back with all my info on this subject.  Is it possible to erase all the information on the phone without using the keyboard and the normal delete process memory?

    You can make a backup of the device using Desktop Manager > back up everything first.

    Then, you can use JLCmder to reset to factory settings:

    Follow the instructions in this link:

    At last-

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.

    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause the trackball and keyboard problems until this THAT well dry.

    Really, it is more common than you think.

    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.

    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)

    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).

    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    • On top of all heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    • On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

    It helps if you describe what is happening, including the text of the error message, without paraphrasing.

    Your statement may seem perfectly clear to you, but remember that no one else can see your screen.

  • How to make records with their emails in them to Outlook Express 5 (old pc) for Outlook Express 6 (new pc)?

    Here's the situation: old PC (running XP) running Outlook Express 5. I want to export files as well as e-mail in these worms a new pc still running XP but running Outlook Express 6. When you import I can't import Outlook Express 5 stuff, it only gives me the choice between Outlook Express 4 and Outlook Express 6. So any ideas? You really learn these files (emails not only) and the emails from Outlook Express 5 to Outlook Express on the new PC 6 (old PC).

    Someone said to upgrade the old pc Outlook Express 5 to Outlook Express 6, and then create an export, but I don't know which would work because if I do an upgrade from 5 to 6 on old PC, he would see even the oldest post which could be seen on Outlook Express 5?

    I need to test this theory out before returning to the customer, but both my XP machines running Outlook Express 6, Outlook Express 5, who is older not. Download Outlook Express: I can't find anywhere! I know it came with IE 6 download, but I can't find that IE 6 download anywhere either. Any suggestions?

    Ideally I want to just take the Outlook Express 5 files and emails and import them into Outlook Express 6, but the new Outlook Express 5 is not a choice when it comes to import. If I knew for sure I could upgrade Outlook Express 5 on the old pc for Outlook Express 6 and I wouldn't lose those emails and Outlook Express 6 could see emails: I just do it and then choose export to the format of Outlook Express 6, but who would even work?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    You should know what type of program is supposed to be used to open this file - and this program must be installed on your computer.

    What kind of file is it?  What is the file extension (3 or 4 characters after the point)?

    If you know what type of program is needed and you already have this program installed, the best way to create the association is

    • find a file with the extension in question
    • Right click on it
    • Select "open with > choose program.
    • Select the correct application of the list
    • Check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
    • Click OK.

    If the program you need is not in the list, click on the "Browse" button and locate the program exe file in C:\Program Files.

  • How can I get my emails in Outlook Express on my Windows 7 PC?

    Outlook Express email

    I recently changed computers because my old hard drive crashed.  Now I have Windows 7 and cannot access my emails that were in Outlook Express, because it is no longer available.  How can I get my emails in Outlook Express?  They are important!

    You can get details on the import process in the Windows Live Mail here forum: www.windowslivehelp.com , but you need to find and save the old disk dbx files.  You can get an envelope to connect the drive to the new PC and copy the old dbx files, or you can have a tech company such as Best Buy do it for you.  They will be hidden so you must enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View and also uncheck the option there to hide the extensions of the types of known files so you can better distinguish the files.  Once you find them, copy them to a subdirectory of the Office of the Win7 machine and then check the properties of the files to ensure that they are not read-only.  Then you can import them into WLM, I hope, and if not, you can get a program to extract messages and then drag them into the folders of WLM.
