How do I get outlook express as my default email program?

Question

When I right click a picture and "send to a mail recipient", my default email isn't used anymore. It just started today. Sending pics this way, I can reduce their size so they aren't huge rather than chaing the size of pic one by one (slow!!). How can I set outlook back as the default so I can send little pics??

Answer 1

Under TOOLS; drop down to INTERNET OPTIONS; select tab for PROGRAMS; second selection for "E-MAIL". (Part 2) Send pics as part of Outlook Express (that is; embedded in body of mail) by selecting "INSERT", then "PICTURE", and select from "MY PICTURES".
Hope this helps.
(Hotmail and most others send them as attachments)

Answer 2

Usually starting outlook express, it will do an automatic search to see if it is the default client. If this isn't the case you can fix it one of two ways.
1. Start outlook express
- A., Click on Tools
-- a. Options
-- b. At the bottom of the options window you will see a button that says "Make Default" next to This Application is NOT the default Mail Handler. Just click that button.
2. Open Internet Explorer
- A. Click Tools
-- a. Options
-- b. Click Programs tab at the top of the screen
-- c. Under E-mail click the dropdown box and select Outlook Express.

Answer 3

Go to your Internet Explorer. Click on Tools > Internet Options. Under Programs Tab, make sure that the E-mail: dropdownlist selects Outlook Express.

Answer 4

Go to tools, Internet Options, Programs, E-mail then click on the little arrow and select Outlook Express and apply. then that will be set as your main email program.
