Hi. IE will not permit me to set the default e-mail program. I want to set it to Outlook Express. When I access tools-internet options-programs and try to setect OE as the default mail program nothing happens. There are no choices in the drop down either. This is causing problems when using email links on web pages. Can you help? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the WTT forums

Sorry to hear of the problem with OE and links in IE7

Try this:
1 Ensure that both OE and IE7 are closed:
2 Start>Contrpl Panel>Add and Remove {Programs>>Set Program Access & Defaults>
3 Ensure there is a dot in the radio button for "Custom"
4 Click on the down arrow (on the right)
5 From Choose a Default Email Program
6 ensure there is a dot in the "Outlook Express" Radio Button
7 ensure there is a tick/checkmark in emable access box
8 Ok your way out

9 Open IE7
10 now attempt to set OE as your email through Tools>Options>Programs
and see how you go.
You just might need to do a reboot before you set OE in IE via Tools>Options>Programs
Regards
