  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.

• I can't delete emails from outlook express

  I can't delete emails from outlook express.  I press the button Delete and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
   
  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, the files of user OE (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 icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items 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.
   
  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
   
  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
   
  In tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in the background box and let it unchecked. {N/a if running XP/SP2}.
   
  And backup often.

• Can I combine email from Outlook Express?

  Can I combine email from Outlook Express?  & How does it work?

  To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).
   
  Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.
   
  You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.
   
  *********************
   
  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.
   
  To create a group of contacts:
   
  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.
   
  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.
   
  Note
   
  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.
   
  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).
   
  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

• Can't send emails in outlook express no. 0 x 800 CCCOB error any ideas

  can receive but can't send emails via outlook express or incredi mail error is not 0x800CCCOB

  Go to file | Identities and install a new identity and add your e-mail account to this identity after checking that you do not have conflicting antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  See if the account works very well with the new identity.  If this is the case, then go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  You don't offer a lot of information and a new thread of your own would have been better than locking it.
   
  Do you have an error message when you try to send? If so, post it. If this is not the case, make sure that there are no messages in the Outbox.
   
  If there is, check: file | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. You can remove them now?
   
  If this isn't the case, create a new Outbox.
   
  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, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

• Get rid of OUTLOOK EXPRESS

  She has just appeared on my computer... I find it very annoying!

  I don't know what it means 'just jumped on my computer', but if you see a message like this:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Here is the information you need to know about what to do (maybe you just need the "BOLD" part), but it may help someone else someday.  This was composed after a few committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' tried to fix for someone suggesting to try things which could never work... so I thought I would help them.

  I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

  If you are talking about a message that says:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

  If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

  Compact Check Count

  It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

  Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

  There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

  Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

  If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which again will increase the counter whenever the system reboots, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search invite you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

  No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

  Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

  You can compress the database when you are prompted as he tells you to do (which resets the counter to 0).

  You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

  If you do not use Outlook Express, and only by using Windows Desktop Search you will see this message later, but you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

  After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

  Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

  Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so if you have installed, I recommend you just uninstall and your system will give you better performance.
