Upgraded OE July 28, 2006 and do not like the format for the new OE. Is there
anyway I can turn back the clock on this one? If so, can I tell MS to never do this to me again? Computer illiterate |

Was this a Windows Update? What is different? Is/was your OS XP/SP2? If it
is Templates, there is a fix. Please post back with more details. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "SWF" wrote in message ...

It was a Windows update and just about everything changed from the ICON to an
added calendar, different procedures for retrieving new mail from the host, automatic archiving done now, automatic deletion of read messages unless saved in a new "follow up file", new format appearance for folders, the need to send a message to an e-mail address before auto complete will activate... I could go on, but you get the picture. Tried the web site Steve suggested and this was for prior updates. Mine happened July 23 or there abouts.

Frank, appreciate the info. I thought that might be the case, however, the
windows automatic update bubble informed me that I had an update to OE. When I ran it, I got Outlook. Did not add any new programs or update office. Still have the OE on my other computer because I refused the update. Is there anyway I can go back to OE? "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE" wrote: "SWF" wrote in message ...

Did not add any new programs or update office. Still have the OE on my other computer because I refused the update. Is there anyway I can go back to OE? Updates to Office will often set Outlook as the default mail program. To return to OE: From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/defaultl.htm Go to Start | Run and type this command, with the double quotes and spaces: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /reg and then make sure that OE is selected as the default mail program in both IE and OE. If that isn't enough, see this article: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as Default: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098 You might also want to try this: Restores OE to the E-mail clients list in Internet Options http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/oe_client.htm To set Outlook as the default mail client,- Go to Start, Run - Type in the following with quotation marks and press OK "C:\program files\microsoft office\office\outlook.exe" /checkclient For more information on Outlook see: http://www.slipstick.com/config/defaultmailer.htm -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |
