So far, so good. Had to merge the file into the registry and have successfully: "reselected" OE as the default mail client (in OE tools); can launch OE from the IE toolbar; found OE under the programs tab under email, where it is selected. However, other programs still fail to launch OE as the default. For example, my digital camera software just throws up an error message–Mail Delivery Failed–when I attempt to email a picture*. I have un- and reinstalled this software. I don't know if you have any further suggestions. I may try reinstalling it again as I have updated IE and OE from microsoft.com/downloads since. *I was previously getting the Microsoft Exchange Setup Wizard. Thanks, Mark

Well at least your OE works now. It's most likely caused by messed up registry entries from the installation of Office or one of its components, this is what I have read. I don't have any other suggestions for you other than contact the vender of the programs you are having the problems with.

MrC, thanks so much for the help. I'll eventually figure out the OE 'default' problem completely, but for now what's been restored is the more useful aspect. Thanks for all the hijacker assistance as well. I plan to contribute to the site soon. PS How long will this thread remain here for future review should I need it? (I will paste it all into a document anyway…)
