Every time I close my Outlook Express 6, where I get my email, it coverts to
Outlook and I cannot access my email. I need help figuring out how to
transfer my emails to Outlook since my computer will not let me use Outlook
Express. I have to restore my computer to Friday every time my computer
shuts down since this all started on Saturday. Sometimes my outlook express
just shuts itself down so I really don't have any control. Therefore I
really need to change to Outlook. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Please make the directions easy. I am not all that computer literate.

1. Every time Outlook updates it sets itself as default. To set OE as
default again you can follow this:
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

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:

2. To get your messages into Outlook open OE and click File | Export
Messages.
