Outlook wants to install even if Outlook Express is the default

I have 7 installed Office but chose only not to install Outlook. In my Internet options, I have chosen Outlook Express as my e-mail program. Now, the problem. If I browse a web site that contains a link to a person's email address, when I click on that link outlook attempts to settle. How can I avoid this and go directly to Outlook Express?

Thanks for your help!

Whenever you get an update for Outlook, it will fly the default OE and you need to reset it.

Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults. Custom + down arrow | Select the option for Outlook Express.

  • E-mail response in outlook express using the default email

    The default email in Outlook Express address is * address email is removed from the privacy *

    When we click on answer the e-mail, the e-mail address of the sender indicates * address email is removed from the privacy *, instead of * address email is removed from the privacy *

    We tried to change the (name) e-mail account and the information of the user (name) in the aphabetic order (numeric). But it does not work. We have also tried to change in order that e-mail account has been set up. Yet once, it does not work.

    Your colleague suggested changing the rules of Message. But it may apply here.

    Please let know us how we can fix this problem.

    You can set default email under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties.  OE will then use it by default, but if the e-mail was sent to a different e-mail address, when you reply, OE will use this e-mail address and not the default value in the response.  If you cannot set the e-mail by default, or if OE doesn't know it, then you can go to file | Identities and install a new identity and add your mail accounts to ensure that identity and that should solve the problem.

  • Outlook Express will launch is no longer from the desktop. Tried to download a file to reinstall Outlook Express but the error message indicating that a later version of Microsoft Explorer is installed

    Outlook Express will launch is no longer from the desktop. Tried to download a file to re install outlook express but error indicating that a later version of Microsoft Explorer is installed.

    Is there a file with Outlook Express and the appropriate version of the Explorer on which can be downloaded.

    Do I have to uninstall Explorer 8, I'm sure I do, and I would then be able to use the file? I have download a file called ie6setupOe that has been 492 kb that I thought was Outlook Express. It is a .exe Win32 Cabinet Self Extractor file

    I'm on the wrong track thinking?

    1. View | Current view. Is checked all show messages?

    If the answer is Yes, then the two main reasons for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    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 .dbx files 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.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages.

  • Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    I currently have outlook express on my laptop.  I recently purchased a top of desktop with Windows 7.  Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    Windows Live Mail is the replacement of the so-called for Outlook Express and Windows Mail for Vista. Personally, I can't stand it and use Thunderbird, but it's my preference, and who knows, you might like WLMail.
     
     
     
     
    Support for Windows Live Mail can be found here.
     
     
    Others include, Pegasus, Eudora, Opera and much more.
     
     
    If you go with WLMail, here are the instructions. More detailed information is available in the forum WLMail.
     
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: 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 icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.

  • I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

    I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

    Where should I go from here

    Hello

    You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    So I have to change the default to Google Maps then back to Google to search for one.

Safe search arose in the 2nd single search box!
    Weird! This is contrary to how they show in the search parameters.
