Guest galatea2153 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hi, I use Outlook Express. Sometimes, however, in Control Panel / Internet Options / Programs it reverts back to Outlook. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop it from happening? Many thanks, Megan
Guest Tonyo UK Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 RE: Outlook Express settings reverting to Outlook I use OE too. I have Office 2003 on my computer. I prefer OE to Outlook. But like you I found Outlook was interfering with OE, muscling in as you might say. The only way to stop this (assuming you never want to use Outlook) was to uninstall Office, then reinstall it. When you reinstall you are given the option not to activate various programs. So you uncheck Outlook and then proceed. Problem solved. "galatea2153" wrote: > Hi, > I use Outlook Express.
