Changing Default form Outlook Express6 to Office 2007 Outlook
 

I can not seem to figure out how get rid of Outlook Express 6 no matter what
I do. When ever I try to reply or anything except using New Mail the old
Outlook Express 6 starts up instead of the using my office 2007 outlook
program. I even went into the Control Panel to uninstall it but it dose not
show up in the program list. I tried to rename the folder Oulook Express but
the computer would not let me (it said the program was in use???). I renamed
msimn.exe to oldmsimn.exe and it made no difference. I'm sure that there must
be an easy way to do it but I do not seem to be able to figure it out. Could
anyone please help me? Thank You

First, reverse your renaming. Second, Outlook Express is a part of Internet
Explorer and shouldn't be removed. Third, change the default settings in
your browsers. Do this for all browsers that you may use. Tools | Internet
Options | Programs tab Then make the desired changes. In case you can't
find the menu bar, right click on an open area on the tool bar and click on
Menu bar.

Dear Chuck,
I did everything you said. I then gave up & upgraded to IE7. When I go to
Tools/Options/Programs I find:
HTML Editor: Microsoft Office FrontPage
E-mail: Microsoft Office Outlook
Newsgroups: Outlook Express - Don't Want but can't change
Internet Call: NetMeeting - Don't Use
Calendar:
Contact List:
Default web Browser (the only one I use)
Manage add-0ns ????????
