post sp2 install:forgot or never had outlook express identity pass
I just finally installed service pack 2 on my otherwise very current XP Home
install. When I try to start Outlook Express it pops up a window asking me to log into my identity. I got this machine in 2002 and if I set an identity password at the time I don't remember it. How do I get into my express identity ? Tx
