    For some reason when I click on an image and ask it to be sent to email recipient, windows live mail starts instead of Outlook Express. I want to use Outlook Express. It was also doing this when an .eml file would come in to my email on Outlook Express, but when I clicked on the email it would also come up with in Windows Live Mail. That mail is so slow, any way I was able to fix that one but not sure how to get the other fixed on send to email. Any suggestions?

    This I have already dont, like I said in my previous post. It is my default mail, except for that one thing. I always get my mail through OE but sending a picture that I right click on and send it through email, it goes to Live Mail,.

    Try this:

    Start -> Set Program access and Default. Click on Custom
    Under Choose Default e-mail program:
    Click on Outlook Express and Press OK.

    If you do not see the "Set Program access and Default" when you click on start.
    Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs.
    Then you will see the "Set Program access and Default" on the bottom left side.
    Open it and then
    Click on Custom
    Under Choose Default e-mail program:
    Click on Outlook Express and Press OK.


    Even though Outlook Express is set for you default e-mail thru Outlook Express. There are several things that need to be set /checked or they will use another e-mail.

    Have you considered uninstalling Live Mail since it appears that you do not use it?
