This isn't likely to be your new H/D rather you or someone has made changes to your software (most likely Outlook Express?) Have you recently updated it. Could also be a security issue as eml files can carry malicious code. New antivirus software or security update? You might try in Windows Explorer going to View | Folder Options | File types and then go to OE mail message (eml extension). Click Edit and then Open and then Edit and in the application box paste the following: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1 and uncheck use DDE.
