Outlook Tip

Q: I can't find any setting in Outlook that sets Outlook as the default email
program, there is a setting in OE but that doesn't stick.

Ans: There IS a setting in Outlook which establishes itself as the default
program for Email, Contacts and Calendar (although this is with Outlook
2003... maybe it's different in Outlook 97?).

While in Outlook, go to the Tools menu, and select Options. In the Options
Window, select the Other tab (see attached JPG). On that tab is a check box
that will make Outlook the default program for those three elements. I
assume that if you DO NOT want Outlook to be the default, that you remove
the check from that box.

There is also an option in Internet Explorer - in IE, click on Tools >
Internet Options. On the Internet Options page, click the Programs tab. In
the Internet programs section, use the drop-down list to select the program
you prefer to handle E-mail, like Outlook Express (see attached JPG).
