Microsoft Outlook

[bookend]

The default email program on my computer is MS Outlook Express.

I've also got MS Outlook installed as this came with MS Office 2000, but I don't use MS Outlook at all.

Lately, I've had a window opening following booting which has the title "Microsoft Outlook".

The window message reads : "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client".

I don't want to change my default email client as I prefer to work on the basis of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Can anyone tell me how I can prevent this message popping up following booting please?

Thanks.

Try this:
In Outlook Express, click Tools/Options
On the General tab, in the Default Messaging Programs section, click the Make Default button.

Thanks rojash.

I'm using OE6 and under the general tab at the bottom of the window it says " This application is the default mail handler". The box next to it that says "make default" is grayed out, so I assume OE is already the default handler.

There's nothing else there to change as far as I can see.
