I am having difficulty making OE my default mail program again. After something I did, I now get a message which tells me OE is not my default, would I like to make it so? Yes, please, I answer dutifully, then get the same message next time I enter the program.
Right then, into OE/Tools/Options/Default Message Programs; This program is not currently your default. Make default? Yes, please, I say politely. I exit and go back into options, only to find "This program is not currently your default............... etc". Hmmm. But I just MADE you the default!
OK, next step, into Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Programs. No sign of Outlook Express to choose from. I installed Outlook to see if Express was part of it. Nope, Outlook appeared but nothing else. Remove Outlook and absolutely nothing appears in the drop down menu, and you can't type anything in. Grrrrr. (Outlook Express still appears as my default program for newsgroups)
My OE icon on the task bar still works, as does the program. I just can't make it my default. How do I make it appear as an option in the Internet Options/Programs menu?
Edited for beer.
