Outlook Express 6
OE can be "removed / uninstalled" from XP via add/remove programs. But
AFAIK, it didn't remove OE, it only removed "entry points" to OE.
It is inextricably intertwined with IE, so if you are not using IE either, you may want to "remove" that also - if you can!
What do you think about my idea of reinstalling OE in the hope that Revo will be able to get hold of the program to follow through and eliminate the whole shooting match, including the historical leftover bit?
I don't see any harm in using add/remove windows components to see if you can restore / repair OE. If you can, use the same mechanism to remove it, rather than using Revo.
