I would like Outlook to be my default e-mail client in our Exchange
environment. But, I still want to use Outlook Express to download my
personal e-mail from my sbcglobal.net mail server (I know I can not send mail
out through the server). I can not figure out a way to open OE6 unless I
make OE6 my default e-mail client in Windows XP.

My idea is to make Outlook my default e-mail client and put an OE6 shortcut
in my taskbar or on the desktop. BUT, I can’t find the OE6 program
application file to do this. Will someone please let me know if this is
possible? Thank you very much. I thought this would be simple! nathan

Creat a shortcut to the executable file for Outlook Express (msimn.exe)
which is usually located in "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express" folder and
save it on your Desktop. To open Outlook Express, just click on the
shortcut.

Do a search for it. Hold down the left window key on your keyboard while
holding down the F key.

What operating system are you using (Windows version)? Have you tried a
file search for it? Click Start/Search and enter "msimn.exe" in the box w/o
the quotes and it should return the file path to the executable. MSIMN was
originally an abbreviation for MicroSoft Internet Mail and News.

It's XP SP2. It's a network, mirrored situation but I think programs like
OE6 should be on our own, the client, hard drive. I do a little admin on the
network and if someone needs Flash or something like that, I'm always logging
in as the admin and loading the program to the local (C drive. I should
havementioned earlier that I did do a search ffor the file. Is it possible
that OE6 could be running off our server? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you again. nathan

No, it sounds like your IT people have used a custom setup file when the
machine was initially setup and intentionally removed Outlook Express. Many
do this since they don't want their workers to be browsing newsgroups during
working hours. I'd ask them, since they'd be the best source of information
about it. Good luck.

Understood, but I am currently using OE6 in this environment, it's just that
I have to name it my default e-mail client to open it through Explorer or the
Start menu. the program is installed somewhere - the question is where???
Please let me know if you have any ideas on where the program file may be and
what the name is. thank you again. nathan

It may be on a networked server. I really have no idea but I suspect your IT
people will know. If you are using a shortcut to open Outlook Express,
right click on the shortcut and look in Properties for the filepath to the
program.
